Mayor
Stephen R. Reed has reported that a Harrisburg City Police Officer has
been arrested by Pennsylvania Police State Police on two criminal
counts relating to the Officer's of illegal use of confidential and
investigatory information.
The Police Officer, a female, is charged with giving confidential
computer information about DRUGS to her former boyfriend. Her former
boyfriend was under Police investigation for drug-related crimes.
Mayor Reed said that the eight year veteran an of the City’s
Uniformed Patrol was arrested by State Police on one felony count for
unlawful use of a computer and one misdemeanor charge.
Reed
said the charges against the Officer involved her alleged illegal
access to confidential police investigatory, files, providing the
information to "unauthorized persons”.
City
Police first learned of the allegations in mid-November, and
immediately referred the Case to the Office of’ Dauphin County
District Attorney, and the PA State Police. An internal Harrisburg
Police investigation has
also been conducted and the female Officer was suspended from the
Force in November. The officer was arraigned before District Justice
Solomon recently and Solomon released woman on $5,000 bail.
(Editor’s
Note: In view of the “tough” fines that
Justice Solomon has given to other people for seemingly minor
infractions of City Codes, painting, etc., $5,000 bail for such a SERIOUS OFFENSE to be VERY, VERY LOW! Perhaps District Justice Joseph
Solomon should reevaluate his priorities!.)
Mayor
Stephen R Reed is to congratulated for not following in the footsteps
of his predecessors!
The
Paxton Herald knows for a fact that many former Police Authorities and
former Mayors before Reed, covered up wrong-doing in the Police
Department
People
were beat up kicked, stomped on, and injured in many ways... plus the
Ku Klux Klan signs were allowed to be posted in the old City Hall.
Not only that, but stolen goods were transferred from one
police car to another right in back of the old City Hall.
It was kept quiet.
Again,
congratulations to Mayor Reed!
