CANANDAIGUA — A Geneva police officer indicted on drug charges last year will spend 16 weekends in jail, along with getting five years’ probation, as part of a plea to multiple drug charges in Ontario County Court.

Special prosecutor Christine Callanan said Michael Tapscott agreed to a plea after being indicted on additional drug charges Feb. 19. Callanan, the Wayne County district attorney, was asked to prosecute the case.

Callanan said the additional indictment was unsealed against Tapscott charging him with three counts of fifth-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, three counts of fifth-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance, and two counts of official misconduct. In October, he was indicted by an Ontario County grand jury on six counts of fifth-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance, six counts of fifth-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, eight counts of seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, 11 counts of official misconduct, and petit larceny.

In the Feb. 19 court appearance, Callanan said the “defendant took advantage of the court’s offer and pleaded guilty to all counts in both indictments totaling 40 counts.” That consists of nine counts of fifth-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, nine counts of fifth-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance; all felonies; eight counts of seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, 13 counts of official misconduct, and one count of petit larceny, which are all misdemeanors.

“This plea was entered pursuant to an offer extended by the court and brings a measure of closure to what has been a difficult period for the Geneva community,” Callanan said. “While the circumstances of this case are deeply disappointing, I hope that this plea allows for the community and the Geneva Police Department to move forward. I want to thank the Ontario County Sheriff’s Office for their thorough and professional investigation throughout this matter.”

Callanan did not respond to a question on whether she considered the sentence was too lenient.

Sentencing is set for April 23.

Tapscott was a 13-year veteran of the city Police Department.

Ontario County Sheriff David Cirencione said after Tapscott was indicted in October that “interviews conducted and examination of this evidence revealed a pattern of behavior by Mr. Tapscott wherein he was regularly soliciting other members of the police department and members of the public to purchase or sell controlled substances while he was both on and off duty.”

He said Tapscott would offer to trade ammunition, firearm magazines and personal property in exchange for drugs.

“Conversely, Tapscott would trade his own prescription medication for money or other controlled substances,” Cirencione said. “Evidence shows one instance where Tapscott took possession of a pill bottle believed to contain a controlled substance while on duty and at the residence of a citizen for an emergency medical call.”
