Mule:

You Texans have nothing on us when it comes to public employee corruption:

Tanabe's apprehension follows the arrests of Norman Wielsch, the former commander of the state's now-suspended Central Contra Costa Narcotics Enforcement team, or CNET, and Christopher Butler, who ran a Concord-based private investigative firm. Both Wielsch and Butler have pleaded not guilty on 28 felony counts, with prosecutors alleging both men would steal drugs from evidence lockers and Butler would sell them. Wielsch has been out on bail and Butler made his $900,000 bail Friday and was also released, a jail official said.Speaking at the arraignment of Wielsch and Butler, Fernandez said Butler hired decoys, often attractive women, to meet those he was investigating at bars and ply them with booze. Butler would then call police officers he knew to follow the men's cars and arrest them for driving under the influence.¹

I'd Respond from RI where even our former Federal prosecuter complained when we were not mentioned high enough in the North east Crimes family list
