"Whatcha Gonna Do When They Come For You"
WATERBURY, Conn. - A Waterbury police officer accused of warning a friend about a drug investigation has been fired.
Twenty-nine-year-old Israel Lugo had been accused last month of illegally disclosing information about a state police drug investigation that netted 20 pounds of marijuana.
Lugo was arrested June 23 after police said he illegally used a police computer to check the license plate of a state police vehicle that was tailing the target of a drug investigation.
Police say that Lugo was lifelong friends with 29-year-old Shaun Ducham who was arrested June 20 after state police raided his home and seized guns, 20 pounds of marijuana and about $1,000 in cash.
Lugo was with the department for three years.
