Philadelphia Cops Arrested For Drug Dealing - Keith Gidelson - April 2011

DEA Arrests Three Philly Police Officers
2 officers and a detective allegedly sold steriods

Two Philadelphia Police officers, a detective and 12 others have been arrested by the DEA on charges involving the sale of steroids.
These arrests come come on the heels of a long-term investigation by the DEA and the Philadelphia Police Department.
A 17-count indictment was unsealed on Wednesday morning.  All 15 individuals have been charged with conspiracy to distribute anabolic steroids.  
The indictment alleges that Keith Gidelson, a Philadelphia police detective, operated an anabolic steroid and human growth hormone (HGH) distribution organization in Philadelphia and throughout the United States.   The indictment goes a step further to detail that Gidelson's co-conspirators, who he allegedly sold the drugs to, distributed the drugs to their own customers.
Gidelson allegedly obtained the drugs from overseas suppliers.  He, and his wife, who was also named in the indictment, stored and packed steroids in their Philadelphia home.  
Police Officers Joseph McIntyre and George Sambuca were also named in the indictment.
Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey spoke about the latest arrests.  "It's a hard day when our own members tarnish the badge.  It's also a sign that we are committed, however, to fighting for out values of honor, service and integrity for all men and women in blue who do the right thing and work every day to make Philadelphia a safer city."
If convicted, each defendant faces a maximum of ten years in prison and hefty fines.

@BizzareCorpse

Anabolic steroids are just as dangerous as any other illegally-sold prescription drug. A felony is a felony.

All three of these cops are on paid leave. In other words, your tax dollars are paying for their stay at home vacation (staycation). After the investigation (wink wink, nudge nudge) they will receive a heroes welcome and a promotion.

But wait it gets better....

They will also get lots of overtime, a promotion and a pay increase.

Your tax dollars hard at working serving and protecting.

American tax payers are AWESOME!
