Troy cop tipped off suspect about raid


By Bryan Fitzgerald

A veteran Troy cop was arrested Wednesday for allegedly tipping off a suspect in a drug ring that investigators were about to raid his home.
Officer Brian Gross has been charged with felony evidence tampering and other charges. Before a courtroom full of Troy police, Gross pleaded not guilty in Troy City Court. Some of the Gross’ colleagues that were in court were reportedly upset they did not receive any warning of Gross’ pending arrest. The case is being handled by Attorney General Eric Schneiderman’s office.
Gross was assigned to assist with the State Police’s narcotics unit.  Gross’ arrest stems from a State Police investigation of a Rensselaer County drug ring that began last year.
From the story on our main page:
One of the suspects whose residence was raided allegedly told State Police investigators that he’d been tipped off that a search warrant would be executed. The person who told the suspect allegedly admitted receiving this information from Gross, who arranged in-person meetings using text messages, according to the complaint.
The Attorney General’s office said that the person who tipped off the suspect, after learning of the raid from Gross, had been told by the officer to “watch [his] back” because he had come to the attention of the State Police, according to the Attorney General’s office.

A week before the raids, Gross again warned the person not to have drugs inside the residence because “there was a good chance the police would be getting a warrant,” according to the complaint.
