East Haven, Conn. (WTNH/AP) - The FBI has arrested four East Haven police officers on conspiracy and obstruction of justice charges following an investigation into alleged civil rights violations.

News 8 is told the officers are being held by authorities in Bridgeport and will probably appear in federal court there.

Federal law enforcement officials said in indictment papers that Officer Dennis Spaulding, Officer David Cari Officer Jason Zullo and Sgt. John Miller executed unreasonable searches and seizures and used unreasonable force and concealed their actions.

Mayor Maturo said the four men were arrested at about 6 a.m. Tuesday.

The officers are linked to the 2009 arrest of Father James Manship, who videotaped officers inside a store owned by Hispanics. Father Manship was arrested, but the charged were later dropped.

The federal government had been investigating allegations of racial profiling in the town.

It's good to hear that recording the activity of corrupt officers has finally paid off. Hopefully this will encourage more people to record the activities of police.
