Stephanie Judges Detective
Federal judge orders six officers indicted on racketeering charges to be held pending trial
U.S. Magistrate Judge Stephanie Gallagher said the allegations against Sgt. Wayne Jenkins and Detectives Momodu Gondo, Evodio Hendrix, Daniel Hersl, Jemell Rayam and Maurice Ward, six of seven officers indicted Wednesday in the alleged scheme, suggested "an egregious breach of public trust" and a "flagrant disregard of consequences of their actions."
She said the detectives' extensive law enforcement experience provided them with an "unusual ability to find ways around" any potential conditions of release, and that the allegations against them — including witness intimidation — suggested a "serious risk" that they would seek to obstruct justice in their cases were they released.
robbed Baltimore residents, fabricated court documents and filed fraudulent overtime claims. Gondo also is accused in a separate case of being involved in and assisting an illegal drug organization. http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/crime/bs-md-ci-bail-hearings-bpd-20170302-story.html
