What they did was novel.
They had the only ‘approved’ drug incinerator in NE Florida, and all confiscated drugs were sent to them from all adjacent counties. They would have a big show with media and burn some drugs, then when they left they didn’t burn ALL the drugs, they sold them on the street.
What got them caught was the deputy was living large, way beyond his means, big new brick home, boats, new cars and trucks, etc.
Then some other LEOs got suspicious................
Yeah I recall that.
Living large is what got alotta gangsters killed in Good Fella’s.
