Rockland cop indicted in six count indictment

NEW CITY – A Rockland County grand jury Wednesday indicted Spring Valley Police Officer David Lebron on two felony counts and four misdemeanors for allegedly tipping off establishments that sold alcohol of impending police raids.

Lebron, 39, a 10-year veteran of the police department, is also accused of drinking at bars while on duty and in uniform, for receiving oral sex while on duty, improperly accessing Spring Valley PD records, falsifying a daily activity report and a false civilian complaint form.
District Attorney Thomas Zugibe said the alleged conduct continued for about four years.

He was accused of warning the bars of raids, filing false reports with the police department, observing criminal activity and taking no action.

Lebron is also accused of providing protection for establishments selling alcohol in Spring Valley, permitting the sale and use of illegal drugs in his presence, and allowing a civilian to point a weapon at the head of another person without taking action.

He was also charged with official misconduct for obtaining confidential information from a police computer.
The officer is accused of committing the offenses between June 1, 2003 and February 28, 2007. He was charged with falsifying business records in the first degree, offering a false instrument for filing in the first degree, both felonies, and misdemeanors of conspiracy in the fifth and sixth degrees and official misconduct.
