Georgia Cop Selling Marijuana From His Squad Car Gets Busted

Freedom Outpost

by Dean Garrison

 

Whether you think that marijuana is demonized unfairly or not, I don’t think anyone can be happy with a story of a cop getting busted for selling pot from his squad car. We aren’t talking about a joint or a “quarter” bag. Oh no, Darrell Mathis allegedly sold a whole pound of green to an undercover FBI agent and wanted to discuss a larger transaction.

11alive.com reports:

ATLANTA — Darrell Mathis has been charged with distributing marijuana and using and carrying a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking offense.

“This defendant used his position as a police officer to openly violate the very laws that he was sworn to uphold,” said United States Attorney Sally Quillian Yates. “Selling marijuana out of his police car while wearing a badge and uniform is outrageous. This case is a reminder that no one is above the law.”

Mark F. Giuliano, Special Agent in Charge, FBI Atlanta Field Office, stated: “Allegations of law enforcement officers actually engaged in the distribution of drugs is a rare occurrence. When those allegations came to the FBI concerning Newton County Deputy Sheriff Mathis, the FBI swiftly took action. The FBI considers such allegations of criminal conduct by law enforcement officers to be a priority investigative matter and we continue to ask the public to contact their nearest FBI field office with information concerning such activities.”

On August 8, 2013, Mathis sold one pound of marijuana to an undercover FBI agent. Following that sale, Mathis and the undercover FBI agent went to meet with another undercover FBI agent to discuss the sale of additional quantities of marijuana. Mathis brought his NCSO badge and his firearm to the meeting. During the meeting, Mathis told the undercover agent, who he believed was a drug dealer, that he was a police officer, pulled out his badge, and stated, “Don’t worry, I’m on your side.”

Mathis, 40, of Lithonia, Ga., made his initial appearance before Magistrate Judge Russell G. Vineyard and was released on bond. He was arrested on September 19, 2013, when he met with the undercover agent in possession of one pound of marijuana. Mathis has been a sworn deputy sheriff with Newton County since December 2008.

The charge of possession with intent to distribute and distribution of marijuana carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000. The charge of using and carrying a firearm during and in relation to a drug trafficking offense carries a maximum term of life in prison and a fine of up to $250,000.

      I can be happy this show’s the truth about the saying if you want the good drugs then get them from the cops no pun intended. Under the title of war on drugs this officer is guilty of helping the enemy and would be charged with treason and would be hanged till dead. If the American people would hold the government at all leavel’s that means the dog catcher as well, to the letter of the LAW as they do that includes interpataion WE would be in contorl. But in stead we sit on our butt and pick our nose while we bitch about the whole thing. The government keeps the people devided by race fighting so we will never join togeather and say I”M over it and I”M not going to take it anymore untill this happens it will only get worse.
      Pray, Repent and have joy as it is all fortold in the word of GOD the good news of JESUS CHRIST

      This says it better,
      Pro 28:4 They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them.
      Pro 28:5 Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the LORD understand all things.
      Pro 28:6 Better is the poor that walketh in his uprightness, than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich.
      Pro 28:7 Whoso keepeth the law is a wise son: but he that is a companion of riotous men shameth his father.
      KJV
