TACOMA, Wash. -- The wife of a veteran Tacoma police officer has been arrested and charged with dealing drugs.
The Tacoma News
Tribune reports (http://bit.ly/Ptt7nd) that 47-year-old Cynthia Joy Roberts
pleaded not guilty this past week to three felony drug charges.
Roberts posted
$15,000 bail the day of her arraignment and was released from jail. Court
documents say Roberts says her husband was unaware of her drug dealing.
Reginald Roberts has
been with the department for more than 30 years. He has not been charged.
Authorities began to
investigate Roberts when two other people arrested in Puyallup said they had
bought drugs from a police officer's wife in the South Hill area.
No attorney was
immediately available for Roberts on Friday. Efforts to reach her and her
husband were unsuccessful.
