Two Houston Police Department patrol officers were arraigned Friday in state District Judge Marc Carter's court on charges they helped steal more than a pound of cocaine and other narcotics from drug dealers.



German Ramos, 36, is free on a $100,000 bail while Kendrick Ferguson, 33, remains in the Harris County jail. Both were arrested Wednesday and have been relieved of duty pending the outcome of an Internal Affairs investigation.



Both face 15 to 99 years in prison if convicted of possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver over 400 grams.
