(Harrisburg) — Federal authorities are accusing a former midstate drug detective of trading official actions for sexual favors.
Federal prosecutors announced Wednesday the indictment of 52-year-old former Carlisle Borough police officer Christopher Collare on bribery, fraud and heroin distribution charges.
Collare was a detective with the Carlisle Police Department, a member of the Cumberland County Drug Task Force, and a task force officer with the FBI.
Prosecutors allege that in 2015 and 2018, Collare agreed to accept sex or money from two women in exchange for taking steps to get criminal charges dismissed or sentences reduced.
The indictment also says Collare allowed informants to keep drugs they got through controlled buys.
He’s also charged with lying on federal forms to become an FBI task force officer.
Collare now lives in South Carolina. Court records don’t list a defense attorney and a listed phone number for him couldn’t be found Wednesday.
