Two former Houston police officers involved in a botched drug raid that killed a married couple arrested on federal charges.
Two former Houston police officers involved in a botched drug raid that killed a married couple earlier this year have been arrested on federal charges, according to authorities.
A subsequent investigation later revealed that one of the narcotics officers who was shot, 54-year-old Gerald Goines, allegedly lied to obtain a no-knock warrant for the raid. The investigation also claimed that the confidential informant who Goines said conducted two drug purchases of black tar heroin at the home never went to the house, according to an affidavit filed in Harris County District Court in February.
In the wake of the botched raid, the police department ended the practice of no-knock warrants and opened up 1,400 criminal cases associated with Goines to review. Bryant allegedly later admitted the"mistake" to investigators and stated that he never participated in the narcotics investigation at the home, KTRK reported, per the court documents.
"I firmly believe that Mr. Goines is innocent of any crime and we look forward to defending this case vigorously in court," DeBorde told the station.
