TROY – The city police drug unit is under investigation for allegedly filing a false burglary report in an attempt to cover up entering a home without a search warrant, several city government sources said Friday.

The drug unit went to the residence on a tip from another Capital Region police agency, according to the sources who were provided information on the case but are not authorized to speak about it.

The alleged coverup resulted in a "fractious argument" among the members of drug unit, which is commanded by Sgt. Ron Epstein, the sources said.

Mayor Patrick Madden said the members of the Firearms Interdiction and Narcotics Suppression (FINS) unit were all placed on leave in a personnel matter involving certain officers' conduct "during a particular occasion."

Troy has been laughably corrupt for ever.
