SEATTLE, WASH. (AP) – A Seattle police officer is charged with helping smuggle hundreds of pounds of marijuana to Baltimore.
Alex Chapackdee is one of four men charged with conspiring to distribute marijuana.
“He’s facing serious allegations and you balance that with his work with children, with his work with his family, with the community policing. Was he just on a fun trip with the guys or was he a criminal? That’s the issue in this case,” Chapackdee’s attorney, David Gehrke says.
The FBI says Chapackdee made several trips in an RV last fall to deliver pot and then drove back with cash proceeds.
Seattle police say Chapackdee is on unpaid leave.
