Six Antioch officers who were ultimately hit with federal charges collectively received $1,957,904.75 in pay and benefits while on administrative leave due to the pending FBI investigation, accordi…
For six Antioch police officers hit with felony charges in August, the year-plus FBI probe into corruption, misconduct and misdeeds amounted to months of vacation funded from city coffers.
In a short statement, Antioch Mayor Lamar Thorpe — who publicly called for the officers to be fired throughout 2023 — urged the officers to reimburse the city for the money they earned while under investigation. Another three of the 14 officers — all from Antioch — had voluntarily departed at earlier dates during the probe. Unlike Antioch, the city of Pittsburg — which had three officers ensnared in the investigation — confronted its allegedly crooked officers still employed by the agency with evidence of wrongdoing, and they resigned last year, multiple law enforcement sources said. The other two Pittsburg officers charged had already left when the investigation began.
“I don’t know if all were fired, but everyone who was indicted or facing criminal charges was terminated,” she said, referring to the officers still with the department at the time of the charges.
Sean Patrick Farley, a private investigator working for one of the defense attorneys, told this news organization that while serving subpoenas he saw Rombough climbing down from his raised 4×4 truck after picking up his child from school, near his Mediterranean-style home in Fairfield’s pastoral Green Valley.
