A federal jury Tuesday convicted a former Danville police officer of six felonies for his role in the so-called "Dirty DUI" scheme to set up men for drunken-driving arrests that could be used against them in family court.
Stephen Tanabe, 50, of Alamo, appeared crestfallen as the court clerk read his guilty verdicts for conspiracy, and multiple counts of wire fraud and extortion.
The jury acquitted Tanabe of one extortion count that was tied to an allegation that he was paid in cocaine for arresting an Oakland software salesman in late 2010, but it convicted him of a wire fraud count related to text messages that prosecutors said pertained to the cocaine exchange.
