In Medford, MA Chief of Police Jack Buckley was offered 25K to support and application for a pot company to do business in the city. The Chief sits on a committee that makes these decisions. The “Grease” would be used for the Chief to front the company.
An offer of the money for the vote/influence was offered to a close relative. The co-conspirator immediately notified Chief Buckley. He, in turn, notified the fbi who were expertly guided in the process by Chief Buckley.
The “bagman” was an attorney who worked for the company seeking approval. After a number of recorded conversations and a few other predicate acts the attorney was taken into custody and charged with bribery, attempted bribery and extreme stupidity.
Remember, it’s very seldom that cops are bribed. Make that attempt and you’ll wind up as a defendant. A tip o’ the Cops Perspective hat to Chief Buckley and the men and women of the Medford, MA PD. Carry On!
Peace
