An eighth officer was arrested on federal racketeering charges on Wednesday in the growing scandal involving the Baltimore police department’s elite gun task force.

Federal prosecutors allege the officer, a former leader of the unit, “stole money from victims, some of whom had not committed crimes, swore out false affidavits and submitted false official incident reports.”

He did so while overseeing and covering for other officers committing similar crimes, prosecutors alleged.

Sgt. Thomas Allers, 49, of Linthicum Heights, a member of the Baltimore Police Department since 1996, was arrested Wednesday on nine counts of robbery and extortion, after his Aug. 24 indictment was unsealed.

2. Yo, Baltimore Sun

While you're at it, find out who killed federal prosecutor Jonathan Luna.

Some of us haven't forgotten, and he had two small children. Damn, is that a dirty place.

3. Evidently Sgt Thomas Allers...was the supervisor of the unit..the leader..

Also, 2 of the other officers earlier indicted have already agreed to plead guilty. Perhaps with the guilty plea of the two, more evidence came on this Sgt. Allers.. What a piece of s**t ...."He did so while overseeing and covering for the other officers committing similar crimes, prosecutors alleged

My apologies to pieces of s**t for identifying him as one of them.
.St Allers ismuch lower, but can't think of anything now.....Oh and he hasn't been proven "guilty" yet.. But this is a federal case, and I believe the feds have the goods on him.....we will see.

4. I think they need to start looking into Internal Affairs people and see what they knew

Doubtless at least ONE person tried to report this. But Internal Affairs threw it in the circular file, as they do with ALL complaints from "little people" particular the non-white ones.
