Ex-police chief accused of bus
GETTYSBURG, Pa. --A former police chief and his teenage son were charged Thursday with leaking word of a drug raid last year.
A state grand jury found that then-Chief Rolf Garcia learned of the planned state raid from a trooper who made a courtesy call. Garcia then phoned his 17-year-old son to alert him on Feb. 3, 2006, state Attorney General Tom Corbett said.
The teen called four other people to tell them about the plans, according to the grand jury notice.
As officers approached the residence, two men escaped before they could be identified, the grand jury found.
Garcia, 47, and his son are charged with hindering apprehension or prosecution. Garcia is also charged with obstruction.
Authorities were not releasing the son's name because he was being charged as a juvenile, a spokeswoman for Corbett said.
Garcia said he was unaware of the charges but denied the allegations.
"I didn't do anything wrong," he said Thursday. "I've been in law enforcement for 30 years, and I've never done anything to compromise my integrity."
Garcia was police chief of this south-central Pennsylvania town from March 2003 until last August, when he resigned without explanation.
In his grand jury testimony, Garcia said he would never have told his son the exact location of a search warrant but acknowledged that he might have told him to stay away from a certain location.
His son told the grand jury that he had provided false information about drug busts to others in the past in exchange for marijuana. But the son also said he did not receive any information from his father on the night of the raid and did not share information with anyone else.
A preliminary hearing was scheduled for May 24.
