The FBI’s sprawling investigation into widespread corruption across the Antioch and Pittsburg police departments led to the indictment of 10 people on Thursday, marking one of the Bay Area’s largest and most searing policing scandals in recent memory.
It started in April 2019, and continued until early 2022, when the officers’ homes were raided by the FBI, according to prosecutors. Via text, the indictment says, the trio egged each other on to use violence and swapped photos of people they had injured. In one text, Wenger wrote “we need to get into something tonight bro!! Lets go 3 nights in a row dog bite.” Later that night in August 2020, Amiri and Wenger pulled somebody out a car, took them to the ground and Amiri later texted Wenger pictures of that injured person.
“F— that nerd! That’s what f—ing happens when you run, you acquire a tax,” Wenger replied. “His tax was paid properly. Good s— bro.” From June 2019 through May 2021, prosecutors say six current and former Antioch and Pittsburg police officers schemed to have at least one other person take college tests for them. That’s because pay increases for new educational degrees can be anywhere from 2.5 percent to 10 percent, depending on the union contract.
