Minneapolis Police officer Michael Roberts pleaded not guilty today to federal corruption charges.
Roberts’ attorney, F. Clayton Tyler, said Roberts never sought out the informant who allegedly gave Roberts $200 for information from the city’s and state’s computer systems. And he never asked for money, Clayton said.
Clayton called it "a typical case of entrapment."
Roberts' next appearance in federal court is Aug. 8 and his trial has been tentatively been set for Nov. 3.<snip>
Ron Edwards, a friend of Roberts and a member of the Police Community Relations Council, testified Monday before the grand jury that Roberts apparently then gave the money to him. Edwards said he accepted the money from Roberts without any reservations, considering it "a gift from a friend.'' Edwards said Roberts told him to use the money to buy a steak dinner for himself.
According to Edwards, Roberts explained he'd been given the money from an acquaintance in return for agreeing to look up information from the Police Department's computer system. That acquaintance, who reportedly told Roberts he needed the information because he'd supposedly been the victim of a crime, turned out to be the FBI's informant and a former cocaine dealer.
