Former state police officer Corey Newman, 30, of Edgewood, had been charged in June with criminal sexual contact with a minor. It was also revealed in court Thursday that Newman was fired when he was charged, and at the time, state police were investigating him for stalking women.
Under a plea agreement with prosecutors, he would have been sentenced to as little as five years of probation and would also have to register as a sex offender for life.
But, in court Thursday, his attorney didn't want the former officer to have a felony record, and a judge threw the agreement out, forcing a possible trial.
Hmmm, this story is 2.5 years old. I thought he was pretty well-respected, in part due to this 2022 incident:
As the officer approached the vehicle, Saldivar got out of the vehicle and locked the doors. The officer asked Saldivar to stand on the passenger side of his marked patrol vehicle while he got some information. Saldivar walked over to the officer’s patrol unit and then reached for a black object that he had concealed in his jacket pocket. The officer immediately created distance and drew his duty weapon, but Saldivar charged the officer and tackled him.
During the attack, the officer fired at least one shot from his duty weapon striking Saldivar. After the gunshot was fired Saldivar continued to fight the officer and tried to grab the officer’s gun. As the two struggled, Saldivar bit the back of the officer’s arm. At this point, Saldivar had managed to retrieve a gun from his jacket. He was holding the gun in his hand, attempting to chamber a round into the weapon. Officer Newman wrestled the suspect’s gun away from him and threw it to the side.
