Two New Haven Police Officers
Two New Haven narcotics detectives admitted they planted evidence and stole cash during drug raids, federal prosecutors said.
Justen Kasperzyk, 35 and Jose Silva, 36, admitted planting drugs inside a suspect's apartment when in fact the drugs were actually found in that building's basement. Prosecutors said Kasperzyk and Silva also stole more than $1,000 in cash from a second drug location. And FBI agents said they caught Kasperzyk in a later sting operation where he was caught entering a hotel room without a warrant and stealing some of the $5,000 that was present.
Both former detectives pleaded guilty to a civil-rights violation.
"Corrupt activity by police officers is intolerable, as it can erode the trust and confidence that all citizens have in law enforcement," U.S. attorney Kevin O'Connor said.
Both officers had been working in New Haven since 1995. Kimberly Mertz, the FBI Special Agent-in-Charge, said the crimes took place from November 2006 through March 2007. "Our investigation substantiated that Detectives Kasperzyk and Silva conducted illegal search and arrest, and, through their guilty pleas today, both acknowledge their criminal conduct," Mertz said.
Both officers are set to be sentenced on January 4, when they face a maximum of 11 years in prison and up to $350,000 in fines.
