WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. (AP) — A retired New York police officer is accused of killing four men who went missing during a drug deal this year as authorities reportedly discovered the remains of four bodies on property linked to him.

Nicholas Tartaglione, 49, of Otisville, was arrested Monday on charges of murder and conspiracy to distribute 5 kilograms and more of cocaine, according to U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara.

The former Briarcliff Manor police officer pleaded not guilty. His lawyer, Mark DeMarco, did not immediately return a telephone message requesting comment.

"While all murders tear at the fabric of our communities, when the alleged perpetrator of a gangland-style, quadruple homicide is a former police officer, that strikes at the heart of civilized society," Bharara said.
