Six Romulus, Michigan Police Officers Facing Drug and Prostitution Charges
Multiple drug and prostitution charges were brought against the former police chief of Romulus, Michigan, his wife, and five other police officers by state officials this week. The seven are charged with running a scheme in which forfeited
drug money was allegedly used to pay for marijuana, alcohol, and prostitutes.
According to the Wayne County prosecutor, the charges come after a three-year investigation by Michigan State Police.
The former police chief is facing ten charges, including conducting a criminal enterprise and acquiring or maintaining a criminal enterprise. His wife has been charged with conspiracy criminal enterprise and acquiring or maintaining a criminal enterprise. Each of them faces 20 years in prison if they are convicted.
The other five officers, all detectives, face felony charges ranging from racketeering to misconduct in office. Felony racketeering carries a 20 year prison sentence.
The defendants were ordered to surrender their passports and granted bond. They have been suspended without pay pending the outcome of the proceedings.
The State Police
investigation began two years ago when it was discovered the department's narcotics
unit was no paying its informants correctly. Homes and places of business were raided last March.
