Walker,replica buy rolex oyster perpetual datejust, who was caught stealing $15,000 and planting drugs in an FBI sting, said the unit routinely searched suspects cars and homes before getting warrants.

Prosecutors accused the group of stealing more than $400,000 in the course of their police work. Walker, 46, said he spent his share on clothes and women, while being careful not to attract attention.

On the day in question, Walker turned in a kilogram of cocaine he said that he and defendant Linwood Norman had seized. Walker this month told jurors that they kept three additional kilos to resell on the street.
McCloskey also described the night that Walker came to the station intoxicated and said he had lost his service weapon. The sergeant cleared a nearby bar a police hangout where Walker had been drinking to search for it. Ultimately, someone found it under the seat of Walker car, he said.

McCloskey first met with the FBI in January after being assured he could not be charged over anything he said. He told jurors that he has never read the indictment, which he believes contributed to him being passed over for a promotion.
