2 RI officers held without bail after drug bust

2 RI officers held without bail after drug bust

PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- Two Rhode Island police officers charged in connection with a cocaine sting have been ordered held without bail.

The officers were arrested Thursday. They're accused of helping in a dealing operation.

Another officer has already been released and will be back in court later this month.

The arrests followed a four-month investigation into the drug ring.

"Their behavior is disgraceful. If they're convicted of this, they deserved to be punished to the full extent of the law," said Providence Mayor David Cicilline.

All three officers have been suspended without pay.

One of the officers is a narcotics detective. Another is a school resource officer at a Providence high school.
