Stephon Burgette

Lackawanna County District Attorney Brian Gallagher said ex-Dunmore police sergeant Stephon Burgette's tampering with drug arrest evidence forced him to withdraw charges against three "street-level dealers."

Lackawanna County detectives charged Dunmore police Sgt. Stephon Burgette with taking cocaine from a borough evidence locker. Burgette admitted to taking cocaine from an evidence locker and using it for three months, according to an affidavit.
