We're the Only Ones Under Indictment Enough

The investigation that exposed an allegedly corrupt Virginia sheriff's department began with a package containing vials of a date-rape drug...

The result was a 48-count indictment unsealed Thursday with the arrests of longtime Sheriff Harold Franklin Cassell and 17 others. A dozen of them wore or had worn the uniform of the Henry County Sheriff's Office.

Some of them are accused of stealing cocaine, marijuana and weapons from suspects and the sheriff's evidence property room and selling the contraband to criminals, who put it back on the street.

Others are accused of distributing steroids and weapons, including a machine gun with an obliterated serial number.

"These were drugs and guns that were seized as part of their law enforcement duties that were then stolen from the property room and put back out on the streets," U.S. Attorney John L. Brownlee said.

What can I possibly add to this?

  4. My theory is that they were only caught because BATFE noticed the spike in 4473's for all the gun sales.
