This prompted a thorough investigation of the agency by the FBI, and while nothing of criminal nature was found at the time, it left a stain on the departments reputation.

Drug court is actually more of conversation between the judge and the defendant. They discuss sobriety and things that have been going on their lives since they have become sober. Everything is off the record in the conversation which makes it seem like a casual discussion.…
