Two Pasadena police officers have been suspended with pay after being indicted on charges stemming from two separate incidents involving narcotics investigations.
Raymond Garivey, 39, was indicted on two counts of filing a false report, a class B misdemeanor, court records show.
He is accused of lying to a Harris County prosecutor by denying the existence a witness in a case. The witness, according to the Pasadena Police Department, had given information leading Garivey to arrest a suspect in possession of a large quantity of cocaine.
David Leal, 35, was indicted on two 2nd degree felony charges of tampering with a government record.
Charges against Leal focus on written statements in official documents about the circumstances surrounding Leal’s arrest of a suspect found with about three pounds of marijuana, according to the police department.
Both incidents were investigated by the Harris County District Attorney’s Office and Pasadena police internal affairs. Their cases were taken directly to the grand jury by prosecutors from the office’s public integrity division.
