The deputy police chief of Fresno, California, was arrested Thursday on charges of possession and intent to distribute heroin and other drugs, federal and local law enforcement officials said.

Keith Foster, 51, was named by the Justice Department as one of four people nabbed in a year-long investigation by the FBI and the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

Fresno Police Chief Jerry Dyer confirmed that Foster is the department's deputy chief, who has commanded patrol operations for the city of a half-million people for the past eight years.

Foster was charged with conspiracy to distribute and/or possess with the intent to distribute oxycodone, heroin and marijuana. Three other people — at least one of them described as a relative of Foster's — were also arrested, and two more were being sought, the Justice Department said.

I lived in the Capitol for a while decades ago. I’ve heard that Fresno is overrun by illegals (even though it is the home of FR).
