Published on Aug 1, 2014
"Six Philadelphia Police Department Narcotics Field Unit officers were arrested in early morning raids yesterday on charges alleging they beat, kidnapped, and stole more than $500,000 in drugs, cash, and property from suspects between 2006 and 2012.

Five of the officers — Thomas Liciardello, Brian Reynolds, Michael Spicer, Perry Betts, Linwood Norman — face life in prison if convicted on all 26 of the charges against them. John Speiser, the sixth, faces 40 years.

The men have been followed by allegations of criminal behavior for nearly a decade, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports, but previous cases were dropped. The charges against them include stories of dangling suspects from balconies, locking them in hotel rooms, beating them "as the officers kept score on who could inflict the most debilitating injuries," and underreporting seizures of money and drugs, according to the Inquirer. All of the officers pleaded not guilty."
