Notice they don’t tell you how much he got busted with…5K is a lot to cough up for a minor schedule drug bust in a not really urban area.

A former Crawford County Sheriff’s deputy who served as a school DARE officer faces felony marijuana charges.

William John Bonkowski III, 45, was arrested Thursday as part of a series of 11 drug-related arrests around the county. The Grayling Township resident worked for the sheriff’s department for more than a decade and for a time taught the school-based Drug Abuse Resistance Education program, officials said.

And pot is endemic up there, you’d have to be a pretty busy person to get attention leading to an arrest. Anyway, people always think I’m being rhetorical when I say “the government is the drug dealer.” But I’m not. And you have to love the DARE angle- who wants to bet in addition to recruiting new street talent, there was also some Maf54 action going on? It’s par for the course for these types.

The problem with having lawless, unregulated “security” factions running willy-nilly over the Constitution is that it leads to gang/thug behavior like this. The first gang is the gang in Blue, and I’m sorry to have to say that but these days it’s as hard for me to ignore as it is for me to forget the truth of what is happening in Iraq. Where more Americans are authorized to shoot people in the name of “our” government.
