Baltimore Police Det. Momodu Gondo on Thursday became the fourth city officer to admit to robbing and extorting citizens, billing for overtime hours he didn’t work and falsifying reports to conceal his crimes — all part of a growing scandal that has ensnared eight officers and toppled the city’s elite gun unit.
Unlike the three officers before him, Gondo, 34, also pleaded guilty to helping protect a North Baltimore heroin ring, one that police said was responsible for more than 60 fatal and nonfatal overdoses. With his guilty pleas to both racketeering and drug conspiracy, Gondo faces as much as 40 years in prison — the longest maximum penalty of the eight indicted officers.
With a thick beard and wearing the bright orange jumpsuit of a detention center, Gondo listened as U.S. District Judge Catherine Blake read the accusations against him. In the racketeering case, he was accused o*f committing eight robberies from March 2015 to July 2016.
Eight cops have been indicted. He's the fourth to plead guilty.
Among other things, they were robbing drug dealers who are now suing Baltimore PD.
LOL, he is going to learn this kind of thing can only be done at the highest levels of power! I feel sorry for him once he hits a state or Fed prison...he wont last long.

What lawyer is going to take that case? Admitted drug dealers will have everything confiscated under ill gotten gains and they wont have anything to pay off their lawyers if they loose. I guess they can pay them off in 8 balls.

Believe it or not, even drug dealers have constitutional rights and plenty of lawyers willing to take those cases.
