NYPD cop busted for Cocaine, protecting dealers

Ishmael Bailey

Ishmael Bailey, 36, a 12-year veteran with the NYPD thought nobody would notice when he provided security for El Chapo's narco wife Emma Coronel Aispuro as she attended her husband’s drug trafficking trial. Investigators began looking closer into Bailey’s affairs and found the security detail was just one of a long list of shady side gigs.

Bailey was nailed on charges of conspiracy and sale of a controlled substance for acting as security twice when loads of cocaine were transported from various locations around Queens. Bailey was arrested by officers with the NYPD’s Internal Affairs Bureau after a sting. He was also charged with possession of a controlled substance, bribe receiving and official misconduct. Bailey wept at his brief arraignment as a judge ordered him held on $50,000 bond and $25,000 cash bail. If convicted, he faces up to 15 years behind bars.
