PHILADELPHIA A Philadelphia Police officer is being charged and fired after authorities said he lied under oath about seeing a drug deal, leading to an unlawful arrest.
On Wednesday Officer James Saxton, 34, was arrested by the Philadelphia Police Department s Internal Affairs Division, following an investigation that found that Saxton lied under oath.
On May 16, 2019, Saxton was sworn in as a witness in a preliminary hearing regarding the arrest of the complainant. The statements provided by Saxton during the hearing and the paperwork he submitted involving the arrest of the complainant were inconsistent with videos that recorded the incident.
