6 Officers Plead Guilty in Mississippi Drug Bust
Description
Six Mississippi law enforcement officers have pleaded guilty in a major FBI sting on drug trafficking and bribery, while one officer was acquitted. The scheme involved twenty people, including two sheriffs, accused of helping move cocaine through the Delta counties. Federal charges hit fourteen officers who took bribes from an undercover agent. Three folks in Mississippi and three in Tennessee also faced charges. The case exposed deep corruption in small-town policing. Six officers copped pleas to conspiracy, while two sheriffs and others prepare for trials this summer.
