Seventeen Police Officers Arrested in Kickback Scheme

Seventeen police officers and the owners of the Majestic Auto Repair Shop have been arrested in an extortion scheme involving thousands of dollars of kickbacks from towing cases.

The officers are accused of illegally steering car accident victims to the Majestic Auto Repair shop for kickbacks. The federal complaint below details how victims were directed to the shop for towing and repairs with officers received $300 per vehicle, which seems a sizable amount that was presumably passed on to the victims through inflated costs. One officer reportedly made top salesman with a take of $14,000 over two years.

Here is the list of accused officers:

Hernan Alexis Moreno Mejia (Moreno), age 30, of Rosedale; Moreno’s brother, Edwin Javier Mejia, age 27, of Middle River; Eddy Arias, age 39, of Catonsville; Eric Ivan Ayala Olivera, age 35, of Edgewood; Rodney Cintron, age 31, of Middle River; Jhonn S. Corona, age 32, of Rosedale; Michael Lee Cross, age 28, of Reisterstown; Jerry Edward Diggs, Jr., age 24, of Baltimore; Rafael Concepcion Feliciano Jr., age 30, of Baltimore; Jaime Luis Lugo Rivera, age 35, of Aberdeen; Kelvin Quade Manrich, age 41, of Gwynn Oak; Luis Nunez, age 33, of Baltimore; Samuel Ocasio, age 35, of Edgewood; David Reeping, age 41, of Baltimore; Jermaine Rice, age 28, of Owings Mills; Leonel Rodriguez Torres, age 31, of Edgewood; Marcos Fernando Urena, age 33, of Baltimore; Osvaldo Valentine, age 38, of Edgewood; and Henry Yambo, age 28, of Reisterstown.

    “In all trouble you should seek God. You should not set Him over against your troubles, but within them. God can only relieve your troubles if you in your anxiety cling to Him. Trouble should not really be thought of as this thing or that in particular, for our whole life on earth involves trouble; and through the troubles of our earthly pilgrimage we find God.” – St. Augustine

  7. For some this is a play ground. A place to release and have a little fun 🙂 Talk to the hand not da man. Freddy is that you.

  8. As it is corrupt for one person to assert as valid any claim of power over any other person, so the assertion of power by one person over another person corrupts the one so asserting.

    Do what causes something and the something will thereby be caused.

  9. C’mon folks a little civility. No need to reduce one’s self to mindless bickering. Felt as though I was reading correspondence between a number of “wounded” children on the playground

  10. Don’t step on the crack or you’ll break yo mama’s back.
    Don’t let her smoke it either.

  11. AY is that a shoe or a penis. Only ask you because your familiar with both. 🙂

  12. I do not care if they are born here or not…. The birth certificate issue is not germane to this thread…

  13. BN,

    How so? You read the complaint…saw the list of defendants… Hispanics are very tight in family relationships….

    Have you ever represented folks in the drug culture? Someone that is a major player in the import business from Mexico?

    If you are offended by what I said….well…. there are fast food places other than McDonalds…..

    What I said was from my own experience…. If that is too harsh for your sensitive nature I would suggest you not read my posts anymore…. I say what I think…pretty much…. and sometimes the truth is offensive…. really it is….

    However, I will apologize to you for you not understanding the context of my statements….. I have a great respect for Hispanics….. I have even dated a number of them….

    I end this with…..How many blacks do you expect to find in the Italian Mafia…. Think about it…..

  14. AY: That’s thin ice you’re skating on, there.

    Don’t know who you are but AY is allowed to speak freely here.
    Sometimes the truth hurts.

  15. Is it a coincidence that most all have Hispanic surnames.

    No they probably have relatives in the drug cartels.
    Makes you wonder about their birth certificates. Clearly these that you speak of are non A-mare-a-can.

    You weep for Santiago and you curse these police officers. You have that luxury, you have that luxury of not knowing what I know.
    Deep down inside you need me on that wall, you want me on that wall.

  16. Is it a coincidence that most all of the Defendant Doughnut chasing clowns have Hispanic surnames…. maybe I am over looking something…. Then again…. a very tight community….

  17. These guys must of learned the top down, bottom up system. These guys are a bunch of bottom dwellers sworn to protect and serve. I’m sure the Union is going to speak out on behalf of it’s officers. 🙂 Awfully close to D.C. isn’t it.
