A former cop who claimed that someone left a racist memo on department letterhead in his mailbox at a Connecticut police department earlier this year has admitted to penning the letter himself, authorities say.
Clive Higgins was charged with filing a false report after he claimed he found a letter with the heading "WHITE POWER" across the top of the page on Feb. 9. The letter went on to say "Officer Clive Higgins doesn't belong here in this Police Department" and "These Black Officers belong in the toilet."
State police were called in to investigate and reviewed surveillance from the station, which they said showed Higgins typing and printing documents just before going into the room where he said he found the letter, according to the report.
While Higgins said he feared for his life, surveillance footage allegedly showed him smiling and talking when he returned from the room, according to state police.
After investigators presented him with the photographs, Higgins allegedly began rubbing and shaking his head and admitted to typing the letter in the booking room himself and printing it out before calling the Bridgeport Guardians, according to paperwork filed in Superior Court.

Speak of the devil and he shall appear
Glad he was caught, no room for nonsense like this. Just takes away any actual case that may happen in the future.

Two weeks after Kean University was rocked by anonymously tweeted death threats against blacks on campus, school administrators on Dec. 1 brought students and faculty together to start a dialogue on racism, an issue roiling college campuses across the country.
The quickly organized conference - called Conversations on Civility & Acceptance - came the same day that acting Union County Prosecutor Grace Park announced that a black student and a recent graduate was charged with sending out the anonymous tweets.
Kayla-Simone McKelvey, 24, of Union, a former president of the university's Pan-African Student Union, was charged with third-degree creating a public false alarm.
Authorities allege McKelvey was among students in a protest over racial issues on the campus, but left the demonstration, going to a computer in a school library. She is alleged to have created an anonymous Twitter account and sent messages, including one saying, "I will shoot black students at Kean University."
McKelvey then allegedly returned to the protest and spread information about the threats, authorities said.
University president Dawood Farahi opened the Dec. 1 meeting with a statement lauding the diversity of the campus and the demonstrations of the students, but condemning the threats.
