Ex Philly Cop Pleads Guilty To Giving Heroin, Crack To Women: U.S. Attorney

PHILADELPHIA – A former Philadelphia Police Department narcotics officer pleaded guilty Thursday to giving drugs to two women, one of who he allegedly was in a sexual relationship with, authorities said.

Stanley Davis, 50, and a now retired Philadelphia Police officer who spent 21 years on the force, pleaded guilty today to one count of distribution of controlled substances, according to federal officials.

Davis, who was arrested in May 2017, was assigned to work as a task force officer with the Federal Bureau of Investigation working on narcotics investigations, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

In September or October of 2016, Davis was working in the Kensington section of Philadelphia, an area where illegal drugs were frequently bought and sold, when he spotted two young women who were attempting to buy drugs.

Davis approached the women, ostensibly to gain information on drug trafficking activity in the area, according to the attorney's office.

The attorney's office said Davis exchanged phone numbers with the women and began sending them text messages, which then turned sexual in nature.

Davis entered into a sexual relationship with the first woman and later entered into a sexual relationship with the second woman, according to the attorney's office.

During the course of these relationships, Davis provided each woman with controlled substances, including heroin and crack, the attorney's office said.

Davis is scheduled to be sentenced on Dec. 8, 2017 before the Honorable R. Barclay Surrick in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.

The case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of the Inspector General with assistance from the Pennsylvania State Police and the Philadelphia Police Department. It is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Robert J. Livermore.
