Richard Jobe, 37, was sentenced to seven years in federal prison back in December, but now he’s likely facing a lower sentence.
ANTIOCH — Once again, federal prosecutors have dropped a felony conviction involving an Antioch police officer, as several within the department continue to be investigated for drugs and other crimes, court records show.
Antioch resident Richard Jobe, 37, pleaded guilty to possessing two guns, in Antioch and Pinole, within a three-month period. Last December, a federal judge sentenced him to seven years in prison. But now the U.S. Department of Justice has dropped the Antioch gun conviction and is renegotiating a plea deal with Jobe’s attorneys.
Jobe will likely plead guilty to the Pinole gun charge later this year and be re-sentenced to a lesser prison term, according to court records. His next court date has been set for July.by the U.S. Attorney’s office since late March, when authorities announced they were probing potential “crimes of moral turpitude” committed by an unspecified number of Antioch and Pittsburg officers.
The Contra Costa District Attorney’s Office is conducting its own review of ongoing cases and convictions due to the investigation, a spokesman for the office told the Bay Area News Group.
