Louisiana State Police have arrested a second investigator assigned to a U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration task force.
Maj. Doug Cain, a State Police spokesman, says they are scrutinizing cases made by the task force officers where drugs and cash seized in raids disappeared or were never recorded as evidence.
Cain says 49-year-old Karl Newman, a longtime deputy with the Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office, was booked Thursday on counts of conspiracy to distribute cocaine and abuse of office.
Cain says Newman is being held without bail in the St. Tammany Parish Jail.
Cane says the arrest comes a month after troopers booked Johnny Domingue, another Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office deputy who had been assigned to the DEA task force.

I’ll bet if they keep digging there will be a lot more officers / crooked cops. I also find it funny that they are holding this copy in Slidell jail. If the crimes were committed in New Orleans, then why hold him in a jail located 17 miles away on the east side of Lake Ponchitrain instead of in New Orleans? The corruption goes much deeper.
great WAR on drugs the POLICE are stealing all the drugs and PROFIT. And then people question why some or a lot don’t trust them.
