Someone has littered Center City with flyers admonishing the Philadelphia Police Department and the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office for their actions (or lack thereof), of the LIHEAP indictments 18 Charged in Theft of LIHEAP Funds and the PECO thefts.Man Charged In PECO theft in 5 Counties in PA
Just as someone did last month to expose the racist antics of Philadelphia Police Corporal Robert PawLOWski Racist Cop Disciplinary Action, to the citizens of the 24th and 25th districts, this time they went to the bastion of justice itself. Racist Cop Rants Exposed
The flyers were distributed at 13th and Filbert Streets in front of the Criminal Justice Center. The flyers depict just two of the numerous cops who allegedly stole federal funds from the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program or LIHEAP as it is commonly known. One of the flyers also depict the Lieutenant from the PECO theft.
According to the Mainline Media News, “Basically, the defendant was going to several businesses and homes and manipulating the meters and tampering with the meters so that the meters would read less, or at times nothing at all, and in return the homeowners and business owners would pay him to do so,” alleged Assistant District Attorney Sophia Polites. This statement was made in reference to the guilty plea of the Philadelphia man,
Marcelino Cuadra Jr., 46, of Aramingo Avenue.
Cuadra pleaded guilty in Montgomery County Court to charges of corrupt organizations, theft of services and conspiracy to commit theft of services in connection with the meter tampering incidents that occurred in Montgomery, Chester, Bucks, Delaware and Philadelphia counties between December 2009 and October 2012. Cuadra received probation and restitution to the tune of almost $350,000.00. Electric Thief Generates Probation and Restitution
One of those involved was Lieutenant Raymond Murphy of the Philadelphia Police Department. Affidavit if Probable Cause
No one in the Philadelphia Police Department in the LIHEAP matter was criminally charged. Officers received suspensions with Lieutenant Harold K. Lloyd receiving a twenty (20) day suspension. They were required to make restitution to the Federal program.
Officer Tonetta Dawson and Nadine Ector along with Lieutenant Raymond Murphy are depicted on the fliers. Retired Corporal Angie Brookins and Retired Lieutenant Stephen McCollom were involved as well. All were allegedly departmentally charged as opposed to being criminally charged. Officer Tonetta Dawson works in the office of Chief Inspector Dan McDonald and Nadine Ector worked for former Deputy Police Commissioner Kevin Bethel. This is why they were surgically removed from the LIHEAP indictment.
It is apparent that the prosecution of the individuals in both indictments were carried out but glaringly missing are the police personnel involved in the schemes. LIHEAP Indictment – Less Cops
These cases are poignant inasmuch they provide compelling evidence that the Philadelphia Police Department and the District Attorney’s Office cherry pick whom they decide to prosecute and/or fire. Often protecting the corruption, misconduct and criminality of police officers. When the corrupt officers work for high-ranking officials, it becomes more dubious when they aren’t criminally charged and held accountable for their criminal behavior. Below is a paragraph in the LIHEAP information packet.
What do I do if I think someone is wrongly taking advantage of LIHEAP or breaking the rules?
The state, territory, or tribe’s main LIHEAP office should have a process for reporting cases of fraud, waster, and abuse. If you don’t feel comfortable calling that office or if you want to report something suspicious happening at the main LIHEAP office, we have an anonymous Fraud Hotline. You can call the hotline at (800) HHS-TIPS (800-447-8477) or submit a report online. You can also fax or mail your complaint, or call a TTY number if you are hearing impaired. That information is on the Fraud Hotline website.
This kind of the blatant double standard causes mistrust in the criminal justice system and provides a deep mistrust between the police and the citizens they are entrusted to protect.
