As per his plea agreement, Angelini, who served in the Baltimore Police Department (BPD), was involved in a conspiracy with Co-Conspirator 1 to distribute and possess cocaine and oxycodone between January and May 2022. Angelini even offered to gather information on Co-Conspirator 1’s supplier’s murder investigation by going to the BPD Homicide Unit on two occasions. Additionally, Angelini shared sensitive information and pictures related to the case, which were available to BPD employees through mass email dissemination, with Co-Conspirator 1.
Angelini made an offer to Co-Conspirator 1 with the clear motive of convincing them to provide him with cocaine. He even suggested selling them a privately made firearm, commonly known as a “ghost gun,” in exchange for cash and drugs.
Erek L. Barron, the United States Attorney, expressed his appreciation for the Baltimore County Police Department, FBI, and HSI for their diligent efforts in the investigation. He also extended gratitude to Assistant U.S. Attorney Christine Goo, who skillfully handled the prosecution of the case.
