Former Police Commissioner Faces New Charges | Winston–Salem News

Former NYPD police commissioner Rhonda Lackard, 60, is in custody facing serious charges—including attempted murder and drug conspiracy—in a Bronx case that’s reigniting her turbulent legal history. Once ousted from her Mount Vernon post for allegedly shielding her son from arrest, she was also arrested in 2011 on felony drug charges while running the nonprofit Ivy House Center for Self-Sufficiency—her husband, James OBrian Lackard, co-founder of the same group, pleaded guilty to cocaine distribution that same year. Now, Rhonda, James, and their son Richard are all charged in the latest probe, weaving a complex web of alleged criminal ties that’s sending shockwaves through the legal and political world. The extradition process is underway, and this saga shows no signs of slowing down. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
