Two south suburban police officers are charged with extortion, solicing bribes and stealing guns, drugs and cash during traffic stops.Two police officers in south suburban Phoenix are facing charges of extortion, theft and soliciting bribes, accused of shaking down motorists during the course of traffic stops there and in neighboring Harvey.
The indictment lists seven acts of robbery or bribery between October 2020 and December 2021, though federal officials say both officers may have conspired to shake down drivers as early as April 2020. In one case, the pair are accused of selling illegally-obtained drugs to a dealer and agreeing to split the proceeds.
In one instance, the officers extorted $8,000 from a victim, the indictment alleges. Other victims said they were forced to pay about $1,000.
