Fueled by an addiction to prescription painkillers, an FBI agent abused heroin from his own drug investigations and in the process botched dozens of cases involving suspected drug traffickers in multiple states, according to details that emerged Friday.

Matthew Lowry, formerly a special agent with the agency's Washington field office, tampered with hundreds of grams of heroin seized during drug investigations in 2013 and 2014, keeping it in his car for weeks or months, and periodically using it, according to charging documents filed in federal court in Washington, D.C., on Friday.

Other sources state the agent is copping a plea.

How about the cop, first on the scene of a jewelry store robbery/break-in ?

[gaijin]

Cops are thieves.

Drug stealing FBI agents, Secret Dervice agents drunk on the job, lying heads of the State Dept and Justice Dept., corruption in all areas of government....how can we just start over?

30 years after graduating Dad finally got his college ring, a week later a break in -alarm company calls he comes home only about a minute or two from his office, a cop is walking out from the master bedroom, says, they took nothing and walked out before Dad could say one word. Lots of moms jewelry missing and that college ring.

[military cop]

Yeah. Damn cops.

Can you be more stereotypical?

WEll at least he didn’t get drunk, hit the whitehouse barricades and run over a suspicious bomb package. :-)

I hate to sound unrealistically strict. But they ought to give the guy a two week paid suspension! And no gold watch when he completes his drug rehab.

I know, I sound vengeful. That’ll never happen.
