Pa. detective accused of using drug case evidence
West York, PA. - A fired police detective from south-central Pennsylvania faces hundreds of charges for stealing and using drugs from the department's evidence locker.
Former West Manchester Township Police Detective Steven Crider was arraigned Tuesday on 255 counts of tampering, theft, forgery, possession of drug paraphernalia and other charges.
York County District Attorney Stan Rebert says his office is trying to determine if Crider's actions compromised criminal cases.
Authorities say the 54-year-old confessed to stealing cocaine, heroin and marijuana over an eight-year period that ended in April. They say he primarily stole cocaine.
Crider's lawyer Suzanne Smith says he's in drug counseling and described him as remorseful.
