28 POLICE OFFICERS NABBED IN DRUG STING
In one of the single biggest police-corruption busts in U.S. history, 28
state police officers in Puerto Rico were arrested Tuesday on drug-running
charges after a yearlong undercover sting operation.
On a dozen different drug runs, the Puerto Rican officers allegedly
accepted a total of nearly $200,000 in cash for protecting cocaine dealers
and ensuring that their deliveries were safely executed at spots throughout
the island.
