Former Columbus cop tried to frame club owner

Former Columbus vice cop Steven G. Rosser, 46, was sentenced to 18 months in prison for framing an owner of a gentlemen's club for cocaine possession in 2018. Rosser was looking at a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison. Rosser went to the club in April 2018 with other Columbus oinkers. Rosser alleged he found cocaine residue on a desk and took the owner into custody. Cops searched him and his vehicle without permission or a warrant. A minuscule amount of cocaine, .017 grams, had been planted the court found. Rosser falsified documentation to conceal the conspiracy.
