Two Pleasant Hill cops in avalanche of dirtiness

All right, we all know police enforcement services in all countries have their own bunch of dirty cops, but I think this story I just stumbled upon features two of the dirtiest cops in history.

These two guys are (were?) members of the Contra Costa County anti-drug taskforce. They often had to shut down brothels (ya know, houses full of... let's say, women of loose morals), which led them to the idea that running their own might be a good idea. They'd just have to pretend it's a massage parlor, which they called "My Divine Skin". Brilliant.
Of course, their day-to-day police activities remained and they took advantage of them to shut down competing brothels so they would have a monopoly in the area. Even more brilliant.

But that wasn't enough: the $$$$ call was too tempting. They stole the drugs detained in the police evidence room and simply sold them back. Now that's a little less brilliant, if you ask me.

Oh, and did I forget to mention the "dirty DUIs"? They made staged drunken-driving arrests, where wives who wanted to get money from their divorces had their soon-to-be-ex husbands drink loads just to get arrested by Butler, one of the two dirty cops who now work as a private investigator (you still follow me?) and planned the whole drunk-driving husband arrest thingie.

OK, let me recap. Our two cop friends apparently decided it would be a good idea to:
-run a brothel business
-shut down competitors (didn't they think this would attract someone's attention?)
-steal drugs from the evidence lockers
-sell said drugs
-stage drunk-driving arrests
-all that in the timespan of a few months.

I think, my friends, that we've just reached a new low in police enforcement.


However, let's not forget that they're still technically innocent and waiting to be judged. Let's also not forget about the countless good cops around here who actually make our lives better.
