very bad.

Allegedly: Basically these guys, incl the Sheriff himself and the Major, set up a safe house, sold drugs (that they had seized) and carried on affairs both on and off duty, then lied about it to the State Police, DEA, and USPS inspectors, then tried to cover it up and launder the money.

Allegedly.

Despicable.

Got this from someone I know: This has been going on for awhile. SOME former Bedford officers may not be sleeping very well. Not naming names, just saying.............

Actually I haven't gotten one there in a couple years. I used to get them all the time going to or back from hockey games or to smith mt lake etc. Then I just slowed down. It sucks and takes you longer to get places, but it's cheaper.

This sounds like it could have been a good episode of Walker Texas Ranger. Wait...I think it was.
