Federal authorities have charged nine current and former California police officers in a corruption investigation.
U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of California Ismail J. Ramsey, right, speaks to reporters during a press conference to announce federal authorities have charged 10 current and former Northern California police officers in a corruption investigation Thursday, Aug. 17, 2023, in San Francisco. Arrest warrants were served Thursday in California, Texas and Hawaii.
Arrest warrants were served Thursday in California, Texas and Hawaii, said Robert Tripp, special agent in charge of the FBI’s San Francisco Field Office. One has not yet been arrested, officials said."Any breach the public’s trust is absolutely unacceptable,” Tripp said while discussing charges against Antioch officers that include using their official positions as officers to deprive people of their rights.
The indictment quotes a text message exchange where Amiri had shared photos with Rombough of a bicyclist bitten by his police dog after he stopped the bicyclist late at night for biking without a light. Rombough replied, “yeah buddy good boy Purcy.” The city of Antioch, with about 115,000 residents 45 miles east of San Francisco, was once predominantly white but has diversified in the last 30 years.
“Today is a dark day in our city’s history, as people trusted to uphold the law, allegedly breached that trust and were arrested by the FBI,” Antioch Mayor Lamar Thorpe said in a statement. “As our city absorbs this tragic news, we must come together as one. Today’s actions are the beginning of the end of a long and arduous process.”
