Southbay Officer Allegedly Gave Info To Gang To Settle Debt

View Comments

SAN JOSE (CBS/AP) –  A Santa Clara police officer is facing federal criminal charges for allegedly passing on confidential information to a Hells Angels member to settle a debt.

The San Jose Mercury News reports that an indictment unsealed Monday in federal court in San Jose charges 36-year-old Clay Rojas with fraud and conspiracy.

The indictment alleges that Rojas supplied insider information, such as criminal and motor vehicle records, to William, a suspected member of the motorcycle gang.

It claims Bettencourt had loaned Rojas money, and Rojas was using the confidential information as a form of payment.

The federal charges come on top of state charges filed against Rojas in October. Bettencourt also is in jail and faces related state charges.

    Poorly written article. WHO is Bettencourt? WHO is William? Should the gang-ster have been ID’d as William Bettencourt?

    And is the ‘dirty’ cop Rojas in jail? Or out?
