Officer Jeffrey Walker disgraced, Walker continued his career for 24 years, becoming more crooked as he advanced through the ranks. The Inquirer reports that in 1999, he joined the prestigious Narcotics Field Unit, where he reportedly became the squad’s muscle, along with officer Linwood Norman.
In one incident described by Walker, Norman leaned a suspect over a high-rise balcony to coerce the man into giving them his Palm Pilot passcode. Walker stood by and helped scare the suspect.
That unwarranted search and threat later yielded $1.5 million worth of marijuana and psychedelic mushrooms, along with $440,000 in cash.
The squad would reportedly take up to $110,000 during their no-warrant raids.
Walker revealed the group would often target white “college-boy” types who they believed to be easy to intimidate.
Norman and Walker were called the “twin towers” during their prime, but complaints against Officer Walker began to pile up. The Inquirer reports 22 complaints were filed against the officer, forcing the city to pay out hundreds of thousands of dollars in settlements. Nevertheless, Jeffrey Walker was receiving honors for bravery and teamwork.
Finally, the FBI busted him in 2013, while he tried to rob a drug dealer for $15,000. He hopes his testimony against his fellow officers will spare him a life sentence, but the plea deal isn’t sitting well with his colleagues.
