"I believe that the resolution of these corruption cases against former Officers Hansel and Arce show that corruption of any kind by law enforcement officers will not be tolerated. The public has the right to expect that law enforcement officers, in particular, will follow the same laws they are sworn to enforce. Their pleas of guilty and admissions of wrongdoing is clear vindication of any allegations that their arrests and subsequent prosecutions were the result of a personal vendetta by anyone involved in the investigation. The FBI, Sheriff's Office and Officer Perkins should be commended for their efforts at rooting-out corruption wherever it is found," said District Attorney John Wampler.
