More crooked prison guards, more crooked cops, and in a first for this newsletter, a crooked Fish and Wildlife officer. Let's get to it:
In Baltimore, four current or former Maryland state prison guards were among two dozen people indicted by a federal grand jury April 16 on drug conspiracy and other charges. The guards allegedly worked to provide imprisoned Black Guerrilla Family gang leaders with heroin, ecstasy, tobacco, cell phones, and other contraband. Gang members would sell the drugs inside the prison and use the cell phones to set up drug deals on the outside. Current prison guards Asia Burrus, 22, and Musheerah Habeebullah, 27, were indicted, as was former guard Terry Robe, 26, and former prison kitchen employee, Takevia Smith, 24. Another half dozen guards were also implicated, but have not yet been charged.
In Wellston, Missouri, a former Wellston police officer was indicted April 16 for paying prostitutes for sex and providing them with heroin. Former officer David Dausman, 35, was arrested in January and fired shortly thereafter. He is charged with corruption by a public servant, felony drug delivery, patronizing a prostitute. He also faces federal charges of making and possessing counterfeit currency and forging the seal of a federal agency.
In Rochester, Minnesota, a Rochester police officer was arrested April 15 for providing information about Rochester Narcotics Unit members to people being investigated for drug offenses. Officer Vanessa Nicole Mason, 31, also allegedly was seen using drugs and hanging out with known drug offenders. She now faces charges of public officer misconduct and bribery. She was disciplined in 2006 for failing to report drug use by a fellow officer and warned she would be terminated if there were any new disciplinary issues. Her job security right now appears pretty shaky.
In Stock Island, Florida, two Florida Keys law enforcement officers were arrested last week after being snagged in an undercover sting in which they thought they were transporting drugs for drug dealers. Monroe County Sheriff's Office corrections officer Shawn Hernandez and Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission officer Jonathan Jacox are in federal custody in Miami charged with possession with the intent to distribute narcotics, conspiracy to traffic in narcotics and possession of a firearm in commission of a felony. Between them, the pair carried what they thought were shipments of heroin or cocaine at least five times as the DEA and a raft of other law enforcement agencies watched.
These men and women are heroes
It will be people like those who prevent the chemical police ruling with an iron clad fist.
They deserve our sympathy and prayers.
Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness
Drugs should be legalized now. The war on drugs has been ruining countless lives and costing billions of dollers.
Do we want criminals to continue supplying drugs or should we leave this to the medical profession?
why dont our police forces
why dont our police forces focus on real crimes in the streets instead of realing in and setting up their own poeple with fake crimes.in times like this people are desperate and the police know this. stop forcing something to happen and get out from behind their desks and do something that matters.
legalization
the worst thing about the drug PROBLEM! in the US are not the drugs themselves but the laws surrounding them. What a person chooses to ingest into their own body should not be the business of any government agency but of that person alone. Yet just for marijuana possesion there can be job loss, school funding loss, driving license taken away etc etc, but you can still walk into a store and buy as much tobacco as you want or liquor store and buy enough poison to kill yourself, Yet I don't see any change coming because the anti drug thing has become in itself an industry with beaurocracy, and jobs (more police, prison gaurds, probation officers etc) that the politicians especially in this current economy do not have the courage to stand up for the changes we must make to have a criminal justice system that really deals with justice and real crime. Legalize drugs the black market goes away because prices will come tumbling down to reality and purity can be verified so that the cuts used in the drugs which is what causes most physical problems won't be used which in turn means that people would not have to do many of what is now done to obtain the monies for their drug of choice. Anyway that is how I see it what say you all out there in cyberspace????? Medic7074 USN retired
THC metabolites in whiz quiz
How to fight a charge of possession when the only evidence is the results of a whiz quiz. Also charged with driving while impaired, again based only on a pee sample. Anyone know any good defense cases germane to the police state of Arizona?
