So this officer now deserves to switch places with the drug dealer whose conviction we had to vacate and who has been released from prison.\u201d<\/span><br \/>\n<script src=\"http:\/\/player.ooyala.com\/iframe.js#pbid=b248f00b9d6e4d7ba21cbc796a85f61c&amp;ec=VnOHYzeDrMZvCsCQEq9LnBOLox0kY27v\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Moore was a sergeant at the East Cleveland Police Department, where she supervised the Street Crimes Unit. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Malone and Jones were detectives assigned to the Street Crimes Unit. The defendants were familiar with several drug traffickers, according to court documents.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">From 2014 through June 2014, they conspired to unlawfully enter premises and conducted unlawful searches and seizures, used their power to seize money and property for themselves under the guise of legitimate search warrants, and created and approved false reports, affidavits and other documents to conceal their illegal searches and seizures, according to court documents.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">These illegal searches took place in East Cleveland but also outside city limits, in various locations throughout Greater Cleveland. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The conspirators placed false and inaccurate information in police reports. This false information was used to obtain search warrants, according to court documents.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The conspirators seized money and property during these searches, and diverted some of the seized money and property for their own use. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Malone provided false information to the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor\u2019s Office about certain investigative techniques in order to conceal their illegal conduct, including attributing information to a confidential informant that did not exist, according to court documents.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">For example, on Sept. 10, 2012, Jones presented an affidavit to an East Cleveland Municipal Judge, which the conspirators knew contained false and misleading statements, documents indicated. \u00a0The judge, unaware of false information, issued a search warrant for a home on Sheldon Avenue. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Moore, Malone, Jones and another officer then executed the search warrant and seized $20,000. On Sept. 11, Moore, Malone and Jones met at a park in East Cleveland and divided a portion of the $20,000, which each officer receiving between $2,000 and $3,000. Jones then authored a report reflecting that they had seized a total of $11,173, according to court documents.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">On June 20, 2013, Street Crimes Unit officers, including Moore, searched a home on East 85th Street. Malone, without a search warrant, forced his way into a room that was secured by a padlock and seized approximately $100,000 in cash. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Moore, Malone and Jones removed a portion of the cash before causing the remainder to be secured in the East Cleveland Police Department\u2019s evidence room. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Later that day, the three officers met at an East Cleveland park and divided the money, with each receiving about $10,000. Malone later wrote the search resulted in the recovery of $74,670, according to court documents.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">On June 19, 2014, Malone encountered a parked car driven by a known drug trafficker, identified in the indictment only as M.M. Malone. arrested M.M., who told the officer he had approximately $11,000 or $12,000 in the car\u2019s glove box. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Malone agreed to release M.M. but insisted on towing the car. Malone said: \u201cI looked out for you. You gotta look out for me,\u201d before instructing M.M. to get the cash from the glove box but to leave behind $3,000. Malone removed $3,000 from M.M.\u2019s car but did not list the money when he completed the vehicle\u2019s inventory form, according to court documents.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span
