Two former police officers have been charged with trying to extort $50,000 from a suspected drug dealer in exchange for help in getting his case dismissed, authorities said Tuesday.
One officer, 30-year-old Abimael Arroyo Cruz, is accused of misidentifying the suspect in court to force prosecutors to drop the case.
The other, 36-year-old Josue Becerril Ramos, is accused of not showing up at court to testify and of not giving a prosecutor the documents needed to validate a search warrant, according to the indictment.
