The longtime San Jose police union executive charged with drug trafficking while using agency resources is due to make her first court appearance today.
Joanne Segovia, 64, the office manager for the San Jose Police Officers Association, will appear before a federal magistrate in San Jose. The federal complaint alleges Segovia had 61 drug shipments mailed to her San Jose home from Hong Kong, Hungary, India and Singapore. She then distributed them by mail to other states.
One portion of the complaint indicates Segovia’s phone number is linked to an Alabama man who died of an overdose in 2022. Segovia allegedly used the union's UPS account and a union email in some transactions. But union president Sean Pritchard told NBC Bay Area that, as office manager, she had no decision-making power and no access to the union’s finances.Sign up for NBC Bay Area’s Housing Deconstructed newsletter.
He also made clear that Segovia is the only person charged in the crimes, and her indictment is not a reflection of the SJPOA. During an exclusive interview with NBC Bay Area on Thursday, Pritchard indicated the alleged crimes committed by the longtime colleague came as a shock, and officers feel betrayed.
"This is not the person we’ve known, the person who’s worked with fallen officers' families, organized fundraisers for officers’ kids," Pritchard said."Just not who we’ve known over a decade."
