Former Police Commissioner Wan
BALTIMORE, Md. -- Former Baltimore police commissioner Ed Norris, who was convicted in 2004 on federal tax and public corruption charges, plans to seek a presidential pardon that would allow him to work in law enforcement again, officials said.
"Absolutely, positively, I'd want a pardon," Norris told The Baltimore Examiner for a story published Monday. "I was born to be a cop. I'd go back tomorrow morning if I was able to."
Norris served six months in federal prison after admitting he used between $10,000 and $30,000 in taxpayer funds for personal expenses, including gifts for several women, expensive meals and stays in luxury hotels.
Norris now hosts a talk show on Baltimore's WHFS-FM and has a recurring role on the HBO series "The Wire," which is filmed in Baltimore.
He said his indictment and prosecution by former U.S. Attorney Thomas DiBiagio was politically motivated. The Justice Department later reprimanded DiBiagio for pressing his staff for "front-page" political corruption indictments in 2004, officials said.
Norris admitted to using police department funds for personal Expenses, but said he paid the money back in full before he left office to become superintendent of the Maryland State Police.
