Along the same lines and geography:

Recently a 43 year old Mesquite, TX police officer was convicted of stealing money during a drug bust.
Reports had been received that this officer, who was on the "drug" team of Mesquite PD, was taking money from
drug dealers at arrest time.

A sting was set up to catch him. The alleged drug dealer had $100,000 cash. The LEO in question stuffed $2,000
down his pants during the bust.

He went to the Town East Mall in Mesquite and bought a $480 watch. He later showed it off to fellow officers and
claimed that he bought it with his tax return.

The judge in his case decided to make him a poster child for a LEO breaking the law and he was given hard time.
