"POLICE OFFICER GOES BAD"

"BADGE OF DISHONOR"

January 18, 2002 - The Poughkeepsie Journal: Front Page Headlines

The Headlines Stating "Ex-Cop" are NOT TRUE.......

But only "Ex-Cop" became true, after he was ARRESTED by the FBI for Armed Bank Robbery.

The Headlines should have said:

Town of East Fishkill Police Officer Steele turned "Bank Robber"

Town of East Fishkill Police Officer (also previous former D.C. Deputy Sheriff) while employed as a Police Officer on pay-role, did as an off duty Police Officer, committed several armed robberies, pled guilty, sentencing him to 8 1/2 years in State Prison, of which did not include his final downfall of pleading guilty to armed robbery of the Rhinebeck Savings Bank branch on Route 9, in the Town of Poughkeepsie, across from Marist College on February 22, 2001, where he had already been sentenced to 41 months in Federal Prison for that crime.

SHAME, SHAME, SHAME ON YOU.
