Police officer arrests innocent person on drug charges in exchange for sexual favors and trip to Paris

 A police officer is facing charges that he conspired to arrest an innocent person on drug charges in exchange for sexual favors and a trip to Paris.

Lee County Sheriff Carmine Marceno said that Deputy Niko Irizarry had been fired and charged with falsifying an official document in exchange for sexual favors and a trip to France.

Police investigators said Charles Custodio, 37, had a vendetta against the victim and promised Irizarry he would provide the trip to France and would arrange for him to have sex if he made the arrest of the victim.

Custodio then made a third man, Scott Snider, pose as a real estate agent and plant drugs in the person’s car.

Investigators say Irizarry then carried out a traffic stop and arrested the victim on drug charges.

Izarry has now been charge to court and hearings will begin on Wednesday, February 16.
