Story

One thing you can say about
drug prohibition is that it provides an endless supply of fodder for this
feature. This week, we head down south to West Memphis, Arkansas,
where the Crittenden County jail administrator was charged August 23 with
possession of a controlled substance and public service bribery, the Memphis
Commercial Appeal reported.
Reginald Abram, 29, was busted
after accepting delivery of more than two ounces of cocaine for delivery
to an inmate, West Memphis Police Chief Mike Allen told the newspaper.
"We received information that Reginald Abram was using his official capacity
as chief administrator of Crittenden County Detention Center in an illegal
capacity," Allen said. So they set him up and busted him when he
bit.
Abram is a five-year veteran
of the Crittenden County Sheriff's Department. He took over the jail
administrator job June 5. There must be something about that position.
Abram got the job after his predecessor, Robert Bretherick, was charged
with witness tampering and deprivation of rights.
