San Jose Massage Parlors: Louis Lombard Pleads Guilty
People in the courtroom Thursday were shocked to hear a police officer who has been in law enforcement for 20 years admit he took part in several serious crimes that spanned several years.
In court, Lombardi described stealing money and other items during search warrants, using Narcotic Enforcement Team (CNET) money to buy a stolen firearm from an informant, selling drugs back to an informant from whom he seized it from, and taking two guns he logged as being destroyed. He also admitted to planning to open a illegal marijuana grow house with the intent to sell the pot to a contact in Arizona. He said most of his crimes were done with the help of police officer Norman Wielsch and a private investigator named Christopher Butler.
Federal prosecutors said Lombardi stole $40,000 worth of goods during searches of homes and massage parlors.
