A Milwaukee police officer was charged today with a criminal civil rights violation for trying to shake down a parolee for money and guns, according to a criminal complaint filed in federal court in Milwaukee.
The U.S. Attorney announced the arrest of Ala W. Awadallah at a late afternoon news conference.
According to an affidavit, Awadallah pulled over Earl Cosey, 25, for not having license plates on his van on Feb. 11. Awadallah then took $200 from Cosey and threatened to file drug charges against him if Cosey did not get him some guns.
Cosey tape-recorded subsequent calls from Awadallah, according to authorities, and turned over the recordings to the Milwaukee Police and the FBI, who investigated the complaint.
Awadallah was arrested today, appeared in federal court and was released on $50,000 personal recognizance bond.
