“A 25-year-old Lowell man, whose drug case was one of 17 drug and firearms cases dropped by prosecutors in the wake of the Lowell police informant probe, is expected to file a federal civil rights lawsuit Tuesday against the city of Lowell and a Lowell police officer.  Jonathan Santiago, who has no prior drug convictions, alleges an informant planted cocaine in the gas cap compartment of his car in February 2012, then alerted police, who arrested him, the Boston Globe reported Tuesday  Santiago accuses police of filing a false report that concealed the informant’s role. ‘I just couldn’t believe it — that law enforcement would actually do something like this,’ Santiago said in a Globe interview.”
