Steven G. Rosser was sentenced to 18 months in prison for conspiring to violate a local club owner's civil rights by arresting him on a bogus drug charge.
Decide for yourself if 18 months seems like enough time behind bars for doing this:
"Despite being tasked with investigating liquor and nightclub violations, Rosser used his access and leverage over these establishments for his own personal gain and ego. Drinking on the job , drinking after hours, regularly socializing with dancers and those he was tasked with investigating were the hallmarks of Rosser's ongoing law enforcement activity. All of this was occurring while Rosser was getting paid to work long hours 'undercover' as a police officer.
"The sentencing judges recognized the very real, very lasting harm the officers caused both to the victims and to the rest of the citizens they were sworn and trusted to protect," prosecutors wrote.His lawyer argued that the case had cost Rosser his job, house and medical benefits desperately needed by a family member.
