District cop pleads guilty in burglary plot
A D.C. police officer pleaded guilty to helping steal money and drugs from a Northwest Washington apartment.
Jennifer Green, 28, was arrested in a sting operation in March. Prosecutors said she met with a cooperating witness at a D.C. nightclub on March 4, and the pair planned to steal money and drugs from an apartment.
Green acted as a lookout while the witness entered the apartment and then told Green he had taken cash and drugs from inside.
As part of her plea agreement, Green is resigning from the police department.
Md. lawyer admits laundering drug profits
A Maryland lawyer has admitted he orchestrated a money laundering scheme to cover up a client’s drug proceeds.
Prosecutors said 39-year-old Brian W. Young, of Upper Marlboro, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit money laundering in federal court in Alexandria on Tuesday. He was accused of helping drug traffickers make their profits appear to be legitimate.
An indictment filed against Young in February alleged that he accepted tens of thousands of dollars from a client’s marijuana sales and invested the cash in real estate to hide the funds.
