Four police officers who are facing federal charges are now officially off the force. The borough council in Shenandoah, Schuylkill County accepted the resignations of Chief Matthew Nestor and three of his fellow officers last night. Nestor and two others are accused of trying to cover up the beating death of illegal immigrant Luis Ramirez last summer.
Nestor and a fourth officer are charged with extortion and civil rights violations in a separate case. Now the police department has only three officers, so state police are stepping in to help patrol the town.
