This time in Potter County. Another recent bribery scandal involving the commissary in Bexar County resulted in the Sheriff's indictment and removal from office.
UPDATE: Meanwhile, the Rockwall County DA has been indicted for allegedly dipping into government funds to pay his monthlies. For whatever reason (the prosecutions appear uncoordinated), we've been seeing a lot of official corruption cases over the last couple of years.
No wonder a new report found that "The U.S. side of the border is vulnerable [to increased drug violence] because ... law enforcement is poorly coordinated, undersupplied and sometimes corrupt." If you think law enforcement corruption is just a Mexican problem, amigo, you've got another "think" coming.
Here's a link to the indictments:

I see Mid-America's president was indicted as well. I wonder what ever became of Jack Madera who founded Mid-America. He was once indicted in Dallas county along with the sheriff behind teir commissary contract but the charges were later dropped. Geez, what a sleazy business.
