ST. JOSEPH, Mich.
The Berrien County prosecutor says drug charges against seven people will be dismissed after further investigation into possible misconduct by a former police officer.
Former Benton Harbor narcotics officer Andrew Thomas Collins was arrested Dec. 2 and faces one count of possession with intent to distribute more than 5 grams of crack cocaine.
The South Bend Tribune in Indiana says an indictment filed by the U.S. attorney's office in Grand Rapids claims the 26-year-old Collins used his position to keep seized drugs. The indictment also says he reported fictitious drug sales to improperly gain search warrants and embezzle police funds.
Police didn't have information about whether Collins had an attorney.
