Cocaine Cop

Posted by: admin

California Highway Patrolman Joshua Blackburn apparently had three duties: protect, serve, and steal cocaine. The 32-year-old officer has allegedly stolen more than $1 million worth of seized cocaine which was stored in an evidence locker room.

Joshua Blackburn, 32, stole more than 40 kilograms of cocaine from an evidence locker room at the California Highway Patrol office at about 4 a.m. last Friday, according to the Orange County District Attorney’s office. He was scheduled to be arraigned on Wednesday but his attorney, John Barnett, requested the hearing postponed because he said he had not received all police reports on the case.

Orange County Superior Court Commissioner Cheryl Leininger scheduled the arraignment for Jan. 9.

Blackburn, a six-year highway patrol veteran, was charged with burglary, possession for sale of cocaine and transportation of cocaine. He has been held on a $4 million bail at an Orange County prison since his arrest last week.
