Parents Say Fired Radnor Cop Scammed Son

A Bucks County couple is accusing former Radnor Police Seargeant Jamie Campbell of scamming their teenage son as he tried to buy a used car from Campbell.

According to Philly.com, Campbell, 39, "led on the teen and his parents for two years by hiding behind layers of lies about a phantom divorce and phony military leave, according to copies of text messages and law-enforcement records obtained by the Daily News."

In June, Campbell was fired for "conduct unbecoming an officer."

The couple's 19-year-old son was killed in August in a motorcycle accident.

And it gets more complicated, according to the article, which you can read here:

The parents later learned that a $600 check that their son wrote to Campbell on Oct. 13, 2010, ended up in the bank account of Nicholas "Nicky the Hat" Cimino, a copy of the check shows.

Cimino pleaded guilty in 2009 to gambling and money-laundering charges after the state Attorney General's Office identified him as the reputed leader of a Delaware County bookmaking operation with mob ties.

In a June 5 interview with Radnor Township officials, Campbell said that he and Cimino grew up together and sometimes watched Pay-Per-View fights, but Campbell maintained that he was unaware of Cimino's criminal past, according to a transcript.

Robert DeLuca, Campbell's attorney said "the case was a 'contractual dispute' that stemmed from the fact that Grady had failed to live up to an agreement to pay off the Nissan in 90 days," Philly.com writes.
