Most Cops Are Crooks
Feds Jail A Gang
Of Crooked Cops

By: Kingfish Stevens

So many crooked cops and so little time!

Recently another gang of Pennsylvania cops were jailed by the feds. The state won't keep it's own house clean. Lets see if I can get them straight.

First there's Shawn Nihen. He was the apparent snitch who wheedled out of jail time. He was a chief of police in the little town of Coaldale in Schuylkill County in East Central Pennsylvania. He lived in the nearby village of Lansdale. Nihen stole cocaine and heroin from police evidence. Perhaps he stole other drugs or other property, too. He then sold or gave the drugs to another crooked cop, Jeremy Sommers. As a little side shenanigans, "Chief" Shawn Nihen bought an apparently hot military M-10 machine-gun from another cop, Joseph Stawiarski.

Jeremy Sommers was a cop in the town of Lansford in the coal mining district of Carbon County in Northeastern Pennsylvania where Nihen lived. He lived in nearby Summit Hill. He admitted to getting the stolen dope from "Chief" Nihen and planting the drugs on a man and his brother. He and yet another cop, Michael Weaver, then arrested the men that they'd set-up.

Michael Weaver lived in the village of Nasquehoning. He was a crooked cop working of the crooked "chief" Nihen in Coaldale. The chief got off without jail time, but Weaver was banged for 21 months in the federal prison plus a $1000 fine. The poor patsies that he set-up with the stolen drugs, don't seem to have gotten anything. We think they should sue.

Joseph Stawiarski was the chief of police in the village of Lansford. He sold the machine-gun to "Chief" Nihen and then did what cops do best; lied.

If your a little confused by the tangled criminal web of these four crooked cops, stay tuned. There are thousands of others where these came from.
