Four Shenandoah officers resign after charges

SHENANDOAH, Pa. - Four Shenandoah police officers who were arrested Dec. 15 on federal charges have resigned.

The Shenandoah Borough Police Department has only three officers after the resignations of Chief Matthew Nestor, Capt. Jamie Gennarini, Officer Jason Hayes, and Lt. William Moyer were accepted Tuesday night. State police are helping patrol the Schuylkill County town.

Nestor, Moyer, and Hayes are accused of orchestrating a cover-up after the fatal beating of a Mexican immigrant by altering evidence or lying to the FBI in a case against two white high school football players. Nestor and Gennarini are charged with extortion and civil-rights violations in a separate case. - AP
