Calif. cop won’t be charged despite stashing seized marijuana at home and lying about it

A Richmond, California police officer was allowed to testify in several criminal cases despite being under investigation for mishandling 5 pounds of seized marijuana, Richmond Confidential reported.

Defense attorneys accused the Contra Costa County District Attorney’s Office of violating ethics rules by not informing them that Officer Joe Avila was under investigation while continuing to use him as a key witness.

“They are cutting him some slack because he’s a police officer,” said the county’s chief public defender, Robin Lipetzky. “Anybody else found with 5 pounds of marijuana in their possession, I don’t care who that is, that person is going to be charged with a crime.”
