police officer to stand trial

ABERDEEN, Miss. (AP) — A former Ecru police officer will stand trial Oct. 29 in Aberdeen on federal charges of taking money from people during traffic stops.  WTVA-TV reports (http://bit.ly/Ntd6xL) that 34-year-old Jody Mac Rock of Pontotoc was indicted in late May and faces up to two years in prison and $500,000 fine or both, if convicted. Federal court documents say on two occasions Rock demanded money in lieu of writing a traffic citation. The indictment states both persons were deprived of their constitutional right to be free of unreasonable search and seizure. Rock has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
