State Grand Jury Charges Two NOLA Cops

The Times-Picayune reports that two New Orleans Police Officers were arrested on state payroll charges after they were indicted by a special grand jury in New Orleans. The officers were allegedly claiming departmental pay while working paid off-duty jobs. The charges "seem to be breaking a long-standing pattern of leaving it to federal prosecutors to handle corruption cases" says the Metropolitan Crime Commission.
