185 drug cases dropped after Camden police probe
March 20, 2010 3:15 AM

CAMDEN, N.J.
Officials say they've dropped criminal charges in 185 cases involving more than 180 suspects in Camden, N.J. because of an investigation of police misconduct.



One of five officers implicated pleaded guilty in federal court Friday to conspiring with other officers to deprive people of their civil rights. Kevin Parry admitted he planted drugs on suspects, conducted illegal searches, and threatened additional charges for non-cooperation.

Friday's disclosure of the list of cases and Parry's plea represented the first time law enforcement has given any information about the cases since investigation began in November.

At least four of the police officers were suspended then.

The prosecutor's office reviewed more than 400 cases over the last five years in which one of the five was the arresting or investigating officer.
