Once Again, Texas Leads the Way

Former police chief jailed on charges from Tarrant and Dallas counties | Dallas | Star-Telegram: "A former police chief was behind bars in Dallas County on Tuesday night, charged with seven felonies in Tarrant and Dallas counties that range from promoting prostitution to engaging in organized crime.

Michael Meissner, a 39-year-old described by some as a 'gypsy' officer for holding more than a dozen law enforcement jobs in the past 18 years, remained in jail on a $1.5 million bond, Dallas County Jail records show."

Yeah, that's how it goes: feloms and midemeanants(?) get busted everyday and it never hits the papers, but let an e-chief do one little thing....

Oh no, I think Louisiana is putting a beatdown on Texas in this area. Check out today's story about a cop (now ex-cop) from St. John the Baptist parish:

Yikes! Louisiana does lead the way. But not in a good way.

Never heard of that anywhere, but very interesting if you think about. A 39-year old who was working for a dozen law enforcement job for 18 years all of the sudden starts breaking the law. Or was he doing it for those 18 years? Kind of interesting if you think about it.
