Biscayne Park, Florida police officers unlawfully stopped Black people. |
In a federal trial, a former cop admits that he falsely arrested innocent Black men.
Guillermo Ravelo plead guilty to the charges of conspiracy to deprive a person of his civil rights and deprivation of civil rights under color of law.
Prosecutors says the dirty cop arrested 35 year old Clarens Desrouleaux in January 2013 for two residential burglaries, claiming at the time that he had confessed to the crime.
Ravelo also arrested 31 year old Erasmus Banmah for five vehicle burglaries despite knowing there was no evidence that connected him to these crimes.
Dirty cop will go to federal time out. |
The Herald obtained records last month regarding claims that Atesiano ordered staff to make false arrests.
The department cleared 29 out of 30 burglary case from 2013-14. Investigators believe 11 of those were based on false arrests.
Ravelo was soon fired out the cannon. He will face a sentencing in early October.
