There are stunning allegations today against a 43-year-old Philadelphia police detective assigned to a federal drug gang task force.
A grand jury alleges that detective Richard ("Rickie") Durham, through a third party, warned then-alleged drug boss Alton Coles (a.k.a. "Ace Capone") that authorities were about to strike with dozens of search warrants back in 2005.
And according to the indictment, Coles then made several calls to his cohorts warning them of the imminent searches.
But despite the warnings, authorities still recovered significant evidence, including guns and drugs, and Coles was convicted.
