Circle of lies
Perjury and its consequences a Wayne County court

It has been more than six years since the day in March 2005 when Inkster cops, acting on a tip from a paid confidential informant, pulled over a beat-up Oldsmobile that had more than 100 pounds of cocaine stashed in a pair of black duffle bags sitting in the trunk.

The bust was one of the largest in state history, with authorities claiming the drugs had a value of $27 million. But the magnitude of that seizure is not why the case still continues to generate headlines so many years later.

Two men — Alexander Aceval and Richard Pena — were sent to prison for their roles in the drug operation. But the story of those drug dealers has taken a back bench to that of four people who have all run afoul of the law each had sworn to uphold.

Two police officers, an assistant Wayne County prosecutor and a judge have all paid a price for their roles in a case that sets a precedent when it comes to bizarre legal proceedings.
