Daily News | Former veteran Philly narcotics cop denies pocketing cash in drug raid and lying about it.
A former Philadelphia police sergeant accused of lying to the FBI after being accused of stealing cash during a drug raid testified Friday that he had given a flawed account out of a memory lapse, not in a deliberate attempt to deceive the agents.
When interviewed by the FBI in 2017, Kennedy told them another officer was in the room where the money was found and would back up his story. But on the stand Friday, he agreed that video footage of the raid showed he was alone when he picked up the cash. A cop for 27 years, Kennedy quit the police force after the department said it planned to fire him due to the federal charges. He said he took part in up to 200 drug raids a year and had not consulted paperwork about the Oct. 13, 2016 raid in Kensington before talking with the FBI.
In his cross-examination, Assistant U.S. Attorney Joseph A. LaBar established that Kennedy was not aware of the video system — nanny cams installed by the alleged drug dealers — when he took the money the cash.
