In May 2016, Gondo allegedly asked a police informant to set up a prospective drug buyer for the officers and to make sure the buyer arrived armed. Two days later, Gondo, Rayam and Hersl stopped the buyer on West North Avenue while he was driving to make the deal and Rayam stole $700 from him, prosecutors wrote. Gondo lied in a police report, writing that he saw the driver reaching in his pocket for a gun, prosecutors wrote. The police report omitted any mention of the cash, according to the indictment.
