Baltimore police officer arrested on drug charges

FBI: Officer was in uniform during alleged drug deal
Federal prosecutors announced a criminal complaint against 25-year-old Ashley Roane, of Pikesville, on Friday. The complaint accuses her of attempted possession with intent to distribute one kilogram or more of heroin and possession of a firearm in the furtherance of a drug trafficking crime.

According to the complaint, on April 30, Roane arranged with an informant to stand watch while the informant made a supposed drug deal at a west Baltimore shopping center. The complaint alleges that Roane was on duty, in uniform and armed, and that she watched the transaction from a marked police vehicle.

A spokeswoman for the U.S. attorney's office said Roane has been arrested.

This corruption is everywhere , it would surprise you.
Had an officer tell me that " on a drug bust when a lot of money is found , one for you and one for me." Sometimes , all the money is taken and never seen again. Very tempting , isn't it?
The best people to rob are the criminals , they won't tell.

We have slowly become a mirror image of Mexico . Our police are corrupt , our politicians are corrupt , we have very little religion left . The gangs and minority groups control the nation and the media.
Drugs are the most profitable and largest business in the country.
Mmmm , In God We Trust. You better start trusting him.

It stands to reason that some of the police would be "dirty" based on what otaxie allows in his prison system. It begs the question who is watching whom?
