POLICEMAN INDICTED

Albany, N. Y. (AP)-- A lieutenant on a police force already plagued by 
legal problems was indicted Thursday on federal charges that he aided and 
abetted the operation of a crack house.

Michael Hamilton, 34 currently suspended with pay from the Schenectady 
Police Department, will be arraigned sometime next week, according to 
Daniel French, U.S. attorney for the Northern District of New York.

Charges handed up by a federal grand jury in Albany include attempting to 
obstruct a Drug Enforcement Administration investigation into distribution 
of crack cocaine. The possible top penalty is 10 years in prison and 
$250,000 fine.
