Louisiana State Police have arrested a second investigator assigned to a U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration task force, expanding a probe into officers suspected of stealing drugs and cash seized in raids.

Karl E. Newman, a longtime deputy with the Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office, was booked Thursday on counts of conspiracy to distribute cocaine and abuse of office, said Maj. Doug Cain, a State Police spokesman. Newman, 49, of Kentwood, was being held without bail in the St. Tammany Parish Jail.


quote:

The arrest came a month after State Police booked Johnny Domingue, another Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office deputy who had been assigned to the DEA task force.

Law enforcement officials say authorities are scrutinizing cases made by the task force where drugs and cash disappeared or were never recorded as evidence. One source familiar with the probe said that, in some instances, “not all of (the narcotics) were making it to the evidence room.”


I'd be willing to bet that 80% of these guys are dirty. The temptation is just too great. Another point in the case for legalization and why law enforcement is fighting it so hard.

Cops are above the law and honest. This rarely happens.

Bust em for the drugs, but who cares about the money.

Hell, if we were serious, we would offer half of all money seized to the officers as bonus.

Back in the 90's I knew a NOPD narcotics officer and every year he and his buddies would go party in Houston for a weekend using the money and drugs they skimmed from busts. They had quite a racket going.

It makes sense these are the guys most opposed to legalization.
