A pair of New York D.E.A. employees were arrested yesterday (Wednesday, May 20th, 2015) by the F.B.I. for lying about / failing to disclose that they owned and operated the "Twin's Go-Go Lounge", a New Jersey strip club.
Meet now former DEA special agent, 51 y/o David Polos (pictured below - center and smiling)...
and now former DEA information technology specialist, 45 y/o Glen Glover (below)...
both of whom now face up to five (5) years each in federal prison for making false statements during a national security background check in regard to their ownership and operation of the strip club.
The federal criminal complaint reportedly alleges that the duo bought the lounge in 2010 for $180,000.00 yet that they both had claimed on official paperwork in August and September 2011 that they had no employment outside of the DEA. Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said that by keeping the ownership from the DEA the two betrayed "the oaths they had taken and creating needless risk for the agency they worked for", as operating a strip club would make them vulnerable to blackmail. The complaint reportedly alleges that the DEA employees knew that had they disclosed their "additional employment" then they would not have been able to continue as DEA employees.
Lawyers for both men say that they will fight the cases in court, but it looks like they will have an uphill battle (and I predict guilty pleas, quick ones at that). Why? Two (2) reasons: 1) It's federal court and 99.9% of federal criminal cases plea and 2) It seems that there is overwhelming evidence against them. Per reports the evidence includes such things as: A) A plethora of text message exchanges between both of the DEA employees and club management about various club related issues (like cleaning up condoms, stopping strippers from having sex on chairs, cleaning bug infestations and so on); B) Putting both men in the club during DEA work hours and donning DEA paraphernalia (Polos is accused of regularly wearing his badge to the club and at least once of having flashed his weapon during an argument and Glover is accused of wearing a bullet proof vest to the club); C) In between 2010 (when they bought the club) and 2014 the pair are alleged to have deposited about $600,000.00 into a club-related account; and D) the US Attorney has gone on record stating that the government has proof that both men were aware that many of the dancers were in the country illegally.
Embarking on a career in law enforcement is a choice, and with that choice comes a great responsibility. Cops (municipal, state or federal), prosecutors and judges must be held to a higher standard than Joe Average citizen.
