UK: Police officers to face ch
A FORMER police officer and serious crimes officer from the North East have been charged with misconduct, after an investigation into a gangland shooting
Former Northumbria Police detective John Jones, 47, and Colin Maddison, 47, an agent for the Serious Organised Crime Agency, will answer charges of misconduct in a public office, at Newcastle Magistrates Court later this month.
The two men are believed to have been arrested as a result of information that came to light during the investigation into the murder of David ‘Noddy’ Rice, 42, who was shot nine times at Marsden in South Shields, last year.
But the charges do not relate to the investigation into the murder.
Mr Maddison is charged with one offence of misconduct in a public office. This offence is alleged to relate to the discovery of steroids at his home.
And Mr Jones, who was a detective working with Northumbria Police until he resigned earlier this year, is charged with three separate offences of misconduct in a public office.
It is believed he worked in intelligence for the force’s Crime Operations unit, but was suspended after his arrest.
Both men were arrested in June, along with a third person, believed to be a North East businessman. They were taken into custody from addresses in Seaham, before being released on bail.
The three men answered their bail yesterday.
The third man was re-interviewed and released on bail again.
Noddy Rice, of St Vincent Street, South Shields, was shot nine times by two masked men on the seafront at Marsden.
He had been lured to the meeting place by Steven Bevens, 39, who worked for Allan Foster, a drug dealer originally from South Tyneside, who had moved abroad, Newcastle Crown Court heard, earlier this year.
Bevens, of Wheatsheaf Court, Sunderland, denied Mr Rice’s murder but was convicted in April and sentenced to life in prison with a minimum term of 26 years.
Derek Stephen Blackburn, 51, from Humberside, pleaded guilty to assisting an offender after admitting driving Bevens and another man away in a Ford Transit following the murder.
He was sentenced to four years in March for the offence and conspiracy to supply controlled drugs.
But Blackburn, formerly of Station Road, Moortown, Market Rasen, was told by three judges that his sentence would be cut to two and a half years to reflect the help he gave to prosecutors.
Blackburn did not know that a crime was to be committed when he waited for the two men.
The High Court was told that, without Blackburn’s assistance, the charges against Bevens would have been discontinued.
