> For three years, the Broward County Sheriff’s Office produced its own crack cocaine, so it could sell it to people that deputies would then arrest for buying crack cocaine.

Putting aside the insanity of a police department manufacturing crack cocaine, I’m specifically curious how they ran the books for something like this. There’s the crack money collection, the laundering of cash, expensing raw materials (i.e., powder cocaine).




I'm sure the Broward County Sheriff had no shortage of powder cocaine in the 1990s. Just make a trip to the evidence storeroom.


...only to find it already cleared out.
