WHAT A HEEL: A Crack Cop Arrested
By her own admission, Platteville, WI, police officer Michelle Salentine, 28, had been smoking crack four to six times a week for about a year. And an informant told investigators that Salentine regularly smoked crack while in uniform and in her squad car before going on duty, reports Wisconsin State Journal:
FBI agents executed a search warrant at Salentine's home … where they found marijuana and crack cocaine paraphernalia.
Another person who was interviewed during the investigation told the FBI that she sold crack cocaine to Salentine about 20 times since October and saw Salentine smoke it many times before going on duty. She said she has also seen Salentine use powder cocaine and smoke marijuana, the affidavit states.
Salentine, who has been on the Platteville police force since 2004, was charged in federal court with keeping a drug house, and ordered to remain in custody until a detention hearing.
