Officer Accused of Stealing $1M in Coke December 24, 2007 - Associated Press
SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) — A California Highway Patrol officer is accused of breaking into an evidence locker and stealing more than $1 million worth of cocaine, prosecutors said.
Joshua Blackburn, 32, broke into the evidence locker room at highway patrol headquarters in Santa Ana early Friday and made off with several pounds of cocaine, Deputy District Attorney Susan Schroeder said. He was arrested later that day in Riverside County and the cocaine was recovered, she said.
Blackburn was being held on $4 million bail at Orange County Jail. His arraignment hearing is scheduled for Wednesday.
His attorney, John Barnett, declined to comment because he had yet to receive a copy of the police report. An area phone directory listed no number for Blackburn.
A highway patrol officer declined to comment on the case because the investigation is ongoing.

its to make all the numbers line up.... aka "we spent x million on drug busts and saved the american people x million dollars they would have thrown away on drugs"
In other words, these huge numbers are used to make the insane ammount of money the government givse the DEA to throw away look legitimate.

I wonder if I was caught with 64 kilos of coke would I get just 5 years ...
CHP officer is sentenced in cocaine theft December 16, 2008 - NBC
A former California Highway Patrol officer who admitted stealing 64 kilograms of cocaine from an evidence locker at the CHP's Santa Ana office was sentenced Tuesday to five years and eight months in prison.
Joshua Wendall Blackburn, 33, of Murrieta, admitted the stole the drugs worth at least $1 million on Dec. 21 and was sentenced by Orange County Superior Court Judge Thomas Borris.
With good behavior, he would be eligible for parole in about three years, accoding to Farrah Emami of Orange County District Attorney's Office.
Blackburn, who had worked for the CHP for about six years when he was fired, pleaded guilty to single felony counts of possession of cocaine for sale, transportation of cocaine and commercial burglary with a sentencing enhancement for possession of more than 40 kilograms of cocaine, Emami said.
Blackburn had faced up to 25 years in prison, but he accepted a deal in exchange for his guilty plea. Prosecutors had wanted Blackburn to be sentenced to 12 years in prison, Emami said.
Blackburn, who has four children and was separated from his wife when arrested, made no statement at Tuesday's sentencing, Emami said.
Defense attorney John Barnett could not be reached for immediate comment.
The district attorney's office headed the investigation after the theft was discovered, Emami said. Under questioning, Blackburn admitted to the crime and told investigators where they could find the drugs, she said.
The cocaine had been seized from two suspects whose cases are pending, Emami said.

How the hell did it go from just a few pounds to 64 frigging kilos. 141 lbs is a bit more than just a few. Also how did he get that shit out without help. You don't just stuff 141 lbs of yejo down your pant a stroll out of an police station.

Well, if the inmates find out he is an ex-cop, he is in for one hell of a time in prison.
Unless they give him some bullshit, minimum security with no fences.
Put this pig into a pound you in the ass prison like the rest of us would be.
Gonna be out in 3, and for that much cocaine. Unbelievable.

You get a wristband if you're a celebrity, cop, or snitch that puts you in a special area of prison that's less intense than the regular cell blocks.
