A Crestview, Florida police officer has been fired for, among other things, planting dope to use as grounds for obtaining a search warrant. How was he caught? Well, he wrote a letter to the Mayor , saying he was ordered to do so. And that\'s not all he was ordered to do.

Quote
...In the letter that led to him being investigated, White reported that he was instructed by “my supervisor” to drive to the supervisor’s home.

While there, he said he was ordered to dig a hole and then told to turn his department-issued weapon over to the supervisor, who used it to kill a sick dog that belonged to a family member.

White also reported that he conducted a “trash pull” as part of an investigation and “located a small amount of marijuana.”

“I advised my supervisor of my findings and my supervisor advised me ‘if I was in your shoes I’d get marijuana from the SWAT closet and add it to what you found,’ ” he said in the letter.

“I again was in fear of losing my job and felt obligated to do as instructed by my supervisor,” he added.

The third incident White reported in his letter involved him accompanying his supervisor on a surveillance mission.

“I … observed my supervisor jump a chain link fence leading to the back yard of the residence and walk towards the front door,” the letter said.

It states White had reason to believe the supervisor “did in fact enter the residence.”

The internal investigation conducted by Police Department Lt. Jamie Grant determined White may have committed five criminal offenses and four violations of Crestview’s city policy manual.

The criminal violations included: perjury, tampering with/or fabricating evidence, official misconduct, false report of the commission of a crime and trespassing....
from his letter to Mayor Cadle:

Quote
On a day between 2008 and 2010 I was conducting an investigation which involved trash pulls in order to obtain a search warrant for a residence. After a successful trash pull one more successful trash pull was needed. I conducted the trash pull and located a small amount of marijuana. I advised my supervisor of the my findings and my supervisor advised me :if I was in your shoes I'd get marijuana from the SWAT closet and add in to what you found." I was advised again if I mention what was said to anyone he/she would make sure that I was fired from the police department. I again was in fear of losing my job and felt obligated to do as instructed by my supervisor. The marijuana was located in a "dog box" which is identified as a metal container which houses items used to assist in the training of narcotics dogs.
No charges have yet been filed.

Onward and upward,
