SHERIFF MUST CONTINUE PROBE INTO DRUG SUPPLYING
I just read the story about Palm Beach County Sheriff Ed Bieluch
apologizing for suspending five deputies in a purported drug ring at the
jail ("Bieluch sorry for drug probe of 5 deputies; all are cleared,"
Thursday). Based on the story, it appears that a felon, Willoughby Farr,
claimed that he could get drugs from deputies while incarcerated. The story
goes on to say that Farr worked as an informant for months, wore a
recording wire and received cocaine in his jail cell. The case supposedly
fell apart when Farr was caught in some lies. The sheriff obviously should
know who was recorded and what they said. And more important, who gave this
inmate cocaine?
I would hope that the sheriff would continue his investigation and find out
who was supplying drugs to inmates. Obviously, some law-enforcement people
at the jail were involved. Let's get rid of the few rotten apples that,
unfortunately, are in law enforcement.
