My article was about four police officers in Baltimore who were allegedly accused of being in with the drug market. The article was written by Justin Fenton and was published on November 20th, 2018. 
       Catherine M. Filippou was being investigated by the FBI and had resigned before the police could prove her guilty and get as much evidence they could to stick her. The officer was twenty nine years old and her name was Officer Filippou. She was being investigated for helping with the sale and transportation of drugs. In the article it says that she had been stopped by an officer on her way back carrying over a half pound of marijuana and she flashed her badge and the officer said "Have a nice night.".  Why wouldn't you have some more in-depth look at why a police officer would have a half pound of marijuana in a car with them. She had worn a recording device one time when she had met up with a drug dealer and the drug dealer had said that "was doing this for big money and does runs for several connects in Bmore. Not just weed, but heroin as well, a few times coke." In 2015 Officer Filippou made the headlines for being involved in the shooting of Keith Davis Jr. Before this shooting no one had known about he investigation of being a corrupt officer. She had made so much money from doing this. He yearly income was 71,000 dollars and by the end of this, her yearly income that she had made was 106,000 dollars.

  1. Your summary looks pretty good. I think the information in it is useful and accurate. There may be a few grammar/spelling errors that you could go back and fix. Also, I know the summary only has to be 250 words, but more information about the topic would make it even better. Overall, good job on your summary just fix the small things and it'll be outstanding. :)

  3. I really like your summary of this article. It's crazy how that cop got away with have marijuana just by showing her badge. Crazy to think no one questioned her just because she is a cop.
