EX-FRISCO COP LIED ABOUT DRUG RAID

A Collin County District court jury found a former Frisco Police Department
narcotics detective guilty of one felony count of falsely reporting details
about a drug bust in central Frisco in July 2003.

Jonathan Cain, 32, a 10-year police veteran, had worked for the Frisco PD
from March 2001 until he was fired on July 31, 2003 when the Frisco Police
Department's Criminal Investigations Division presented the criminal cases
against him before the Collin County Grand Jury.

He was sentenced to six months in prison -- the minimum prison time for the
state jail felony. His attorney, John Heath of Nacogdoches, said he would
appeal the conviction this week and try to get Cain released on bond. Cain
faced five years of prison time on the two counts. According to a source in
the Collin County District Attorney's Office, no record of an appeal was
seen as of yesterday.

Cain was charged with tampering with or fabricating physical evidence - a
third-degree felony, and tampering with governmental records - a
second-degree felony. The indictments were the result of a two-week
investigation conducted by the Frisco Police Department, Texas Rangers and
the Collin County District Attorney's Office.

The jury, after six hours of deliberation to break a deadlock, acquitted
Cain on the third-degree felony count of evidence tampering but found him
guilty of lying about where he said a seven-gram bag of methamphetamine was
found in a search of a residence during a drug bust in the 8000 block of
Edgewater Drive.

Prosecutors told the jury that Cain had seriously damaged the integrity and
reputation of department by his misconduct on what otherwise was a
legitimate drug bust. Assistant District Attorney Jeff Bray said Cain
"single-handedly trashed the Frisco Police Department's reputation,"
according to accounts of court testimony.

According to court testimony by a former Frisco police colleague, Officer
Jim Baggett, Cain took the methamphetamine -- found inside a safe in the
house - and said it was found in a suspect's car parked out front. Baggett
testified that Cain said he was going to plant drugs inside the car.

Prosecutors said the false claim was an excuse to seize the suspect's car,
a Volkswagen Jetta, registered to suspect Lucas R. Daly, who along with
another man, Michael A. Nguyen, was charged with selling drugs from the
residence.

Daly and Nguyen face three first-degree felony drug counts and a fourth
felony charge of money laundering, according to the Collin County District
Attorney's Office.

According to court testimony in the weeklong trial, the two suspects are
also under federal investigation of child pornography.

The trial, held in the 296th District Court in McKinney under the gavel of
Judge Betty Caton, began June 21 after being rescheduled from two other
dates this year.

The prosecution was conducted by the Criminal Section of the Special Crimes
Division of the District Attorney's Office. The division, the D.A.'s office
said, was created to assume responsibility for a broad spectrum of "white
collar" criminal investigations and prosecutions, to provide support for
atypical criminal investigations and prosecutions - including Public
Integrity cases - and to offer assistance to law enforcement agencies with
the preparation and execution of search warrants.
