Seventh City Officer Pleads Guilty To Extortion

Charges dropped against another man

Baltimore Police Officer Jhonn S. Corona pleaded guilty Tuesday to federal charges of conspiracy and extortion for accepting kickbacks from the owners of an auto repair shop in a scheme that spread through the department.

Seventeen officers were charged in the case through a criminal complaint, and 10 of them were also indicted by a grand jury, though more charges could be coming. Prosecutors indicated in a court filing last month that they intend to file a "superseding indictment in the fall."

What?? Extortion!? Oh NO! Where's that short little cop who said it WASN'T the cops who were extorting people? LOL!! I guess they were too busy murdering and trafficking drugs and transporting drug money to get involved in extortion. But as long as we are being "educated" and watched by these pillars of morality, its all good, huh?....Wait...someone is banging on my front door....let me go get my .357 and see what they want...
