Black Port of Los Angeles police chief indicted for corruption

[More Black Crime]

LOS ANGELES – The police chief for the Port of Los Angeles has
been charged with corruption in an alleged kickback and bribery
scheme.

Ronald Jerome Boyd was indicted by a federal grand jury Thursday
on 16 counts of corruption, lying to FBI agents, tax evasion and
failing to file federal corporate tax returns.

Prosecutors say he's expected to surrender next week.

The charges stem from a project to develop a social networking
program, dubbed Portwatch, to provide the public with port
information and allow them to report crimes there.

Prosecutors say that Boyd made a deal to share revenues with
another company in return for helping that firm obtain the
contract to develop Portwatch.

Boyd's attorney says he looks forward to defending his client.

A message seeking comment from a port representative wasn't
immediately returned.
