Informant asked to LIE? A Scandal is Brewing.... ""The officers are saying one thing, the confidential informant is saying something else," Chief Pennington admitted. He has put seven officers and one sergeant from the narcotics squad on paid administrative leave while the investigation widens. Faced with the discrepency and with growing public outrage over Johnston's death, Pennington has now asked the FBI and GBI to take over the case. The city has also released a copy of the "no knock" search warrant (view the warrant). Not only does the confidential informant now deny what it says about his alleged drug purchase at Johnston's home, but he also denies telling narcotics officers he saw security cameras around the home. Their supposed existence was one reason officers cited the need of a surprise raid. The informant is now in protective Federal custody." Atlanta Police Dept? Community? Somebody is Lying |
