PRESS RELEASE: Former Clayton County Police Officer Assigned to U.S. Marshals Service Fugitive Task Force Pleads Guilty to Drug Trafficking

According to United States Attorney Yates, the charges, and other information presented in court, in August 2013, Penn, who was employed with the Clayton County Police Department at the time, conspired with Adrian Austin, an Atlanta-based drug dealer, to use Penn’s official position as a police officer to stage a fake traffic stop of a car that he and Austin believed would contain six kilograms of cocaine, conduct a fake arrest of the car’s occupant, seize the cocaine for themselves, and then sell the cocaine, sharing their ill-gotten gains. Fortunately, the person whom Penn and Austin sought to recruit for this corrupt endeavor was cooperating with federal law enforcement and agreed to record his/her meetings with Penn and Austin.

In the lead-up to the fake arrest and seizure, Penn and Austin met face-to-face with the confidential informant on two separate occasions to plan their operation. Penn drove his police car to the planning meetings. While together, Penn, Austin, and the confidential informant discussed the confidential informant obtaining cocaine from his/her drug source of supply. Penn would then conduct a fake traffic stop and arrest of the confidential informant in front of the source, using Penn’s police vehicle and lights, and seize the cocaine, leading the source to mistakenly believe the drugs had been seized by law enforcement. They would divide up the seized cocaine among themselves according to the plan. As part of the charade, Penn agreed to handcuff the confidential informant, put the drugs in the trunk of his police car, and drive the confidential informant to a second location. During one of the meetings, Penn even drove Austin and the confidential informant around the parking lot, scouting out possible spots for various events the next day. Penn reassured the confidential informant that they could cover his/her tracks with the source of supply to deflect suspicion.

CLAYTON COUNTY, Ga. —

Police have arrested an officer accused of trying to buy drugs on her lunch break, and it's all caught on tape.

Butts County Sheriff Gene Pope said a Clayton County corrections officer and deputy in training, Christina Danielle Allen, made an appointment for her lunch break to buy a highly addictive painkiller, Roxicodone.

"That's a heavily abused drug?" Winne asked Pope.

"Yes it is," Pope said.

......"Corrupt County governance, Clayton County, GA "

Published on Aug 8, 2012

This video was taken at the Aug. 7th, 2012 Board of Commissioners meeting in Clayton County, GA. These Commissioners have no clue how to follow through with promises made to the voters of this County when they (the voters) agreed to pay an extra penny sales tax for the purpose of improving roads and recreation facilities. Projects listed for completion have not been completed or, in many cases, not even started from idle funds earmarked for these purposes. Instead, money is being withdrawn to pay for studies by companies close to these Commissioners. Are they getting campaign or other donations in return for these contracted studies? Who knows but it it does give rise to the need for Citizen oversight that does not include their cronies being placed on such a committee. 8 years of paying these taxes with only four years worth having been spent on listed projects. Something smells here and it isn't hot asphalt.
