BALTIMORE (WBFF) – As another former Baltimore police officer prepares to appear before a federal judge, the City faces as many as 55 potential lawsuits in connection with the corruption.

Umar Burley and Brent Matthews have filed a $40 million lawsuit in federal court following their arrests in 2010. Matthews and Burley were arrested following a fatal accident. At the time, the plainclothes officers who initiated the pursuit, alleged they found heroin and a digital scale in the car Burley was driving. Both men plead guilty to federal charges even though they maintained their innocence.
