HOUSTON (KTRK) -- Three Houston police officers are under investigation after claims they got high while on duty. And the claim, made by a man accused of drug possession, are backed up with something undeniable -- the words of the officers themselves.
It sort of jumps off the page.
"'So high' spaced out: h i g h" defense attorney Daniel Cahill said.
The words of a Houston police officer about an hour after arresting Nicholas Hill for marijuana possession.
"It was actually about 10 or 11 at night," Hill said.
Hill was at his Atascocita apartment with friends late one night in May when cops came after someone smelled drugs. On search of the apartment, they allegedly found pot and stumbled on some brownies.
"The other cop came into the bedroom with a tray of brownies and immediately assumed that there was pot or something in it by asking, 'Let me guess what's in this,'" Hill said.
They were not the brownies your mom made, and Hill tells us - and told his lawyers - the cops ate them.

>>I fail to see this as news. <<
Yeah, three Houston cops commit felonies by taking the drugs they confiscate, drive around high and brag about it in texts.
What could POSSIBLY be newsworthy about that?
You should have off the last 3 words and just types “I FAIL.” lol
I meant I expect cops to be criminals.
I lived in Houston for ten years.
I had stuff stolen by Houston cops.
Oh I see your point, you were being sarcastic. Apologies for misunderstanding your post.
Oh, I automatically assume that as well, I would have loved to be a cop but the 95% make the 5% look bad , all that being said, it still would be better for us all if it was part of their medical.
I worked in an unrelated education system with Frank Serpico, one of the greatest, so proud to have been in the presence of a real honest to God cop.
Well, one must admit, after eating the brownies, it is unlikely the cops would:
Shoot the dog.
Taser Grandpa.
Drive too fast.
So... it wasn’t all bad.
