2 ex-deputies pled guilty
By SUE LINDSEY
Associated Press Writer
Two former officers with a rural sheriff's department pleaded guilty Thursday to charges that they took part in a scheme involving their boss and 10 colleagues to sell drugs seized from criminals.
The pair were among 20 people indicted in October in the investigation of corruption and racketeering conspiracy.
Former deputy David Allan King pleaded guilty to charges of racketeering conspiracy and drug conspiracy. James Alden Vaught, a former sergeant, pleaded guilty to racketeering conspiracy.
King faces up to 40 years in prison and Vaught 20 years, but the sentences could be lowered if they testify in other cases.
Henry County Sheriff H. Franklin Cassell stepped down after he was accused of looking the other way as officers sold drugs seized in criminal investigations and stole guns and other evidence for personal use and resale. He has pleaded not guilty to charges of impeding federal agents' investigation and money laundering.
Vaught, 33, pleaded guilty because he has "a contrite heart," said his attorney, Bruce Welch.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Tom Bondurant said Vaught, who agreed to cooperate with investigators, was paid by the ring for use of a house he owned for drug distribution.
King, 49, was once in charge of the vice unit and had been a school resource officer with the department. Bondurant said King falsified destruction orders for drugs seized by the department and he and other officers then resold them.
Charges against the other defendants include racketeering conspiracy, narcotics distribution, weapons counts, obstruction of justice and perjury. One other former deputy and one of the seven civilians charged in the case have pleaded guilty.A monday morning lunatic, disturbed from time to time. Temporary catatonic madman on occasion..
Lightning crashes a new mother cries, her placenta falls to the floor. The angel opens her eyes,the confusion sets in before the doctor can even close the door..
The views and comments of E-man are mine and mine alone and therefore might not reflect the views of others or people in my current department. As such since this is still America I can post what I want without fear of retribution. I think.
RIP Eric

What state was this?
And Shepards we shall be,
for thee, My Lord, for thee,
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand,
That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy Command.
So we shall flow a river forth to Thee
And teeming with souls will it ever be.
In Nomine Patris, Et Filli, Et Spiritus Sancti.

A smile creates happiness in the home,fosters goodwill in business,and is the countersign of friendship.
It brings rest to the weary,cheer to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad,and it is nature's best antidote for trouble.
Yet it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed,or stolen, for it is something that is of novalue to anyone until it is given away.
Some people are too tired to give you a smile.Give them one of yours, as none needs a smileso much as he who has no more to give.

In my opinion there is no worse criminal than a crooked cop.
The virtue of spirit has no need for thanks or approval. Only the certain conviction that what has been done is right. -Jor El, as played by Marlon Brando
