http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/charged-writing-hoax-racist-letter-article-1.2453648A former police officer has been charged on suspicion of being behind a racist letter that targeted himself.
Clive Higgins, 50, of Naugatuck, was arrested Wednesday after investigators said the letter that was sent to Bridgeport Police Department in Connecticut was a hoax.
Higgins said he found the letter on the windshield of his car.
Back in February, Higgins said he found a letter that made several racist statements, including one that black police officers belong in the toilet.
The letter, titled “White Power,” was found in several officers’ mailboxes.
Suspiciously, the letter was written on official police department letterhead, which is not available to the general public.
The letter also referenced a highly publicized case involving three police officers, including Higgins.
The officers were caught on camera kicking and beating a man in May 2011.
Higgins, a 12-year veteran of the department, was the only black officer involved, and was the only officer acquitted of brutality charges.
