COP'S ARREST TAINTS DRUG CASES
DA Drops Charges in 37 Prosecutions
As a member of the New Orleans Police Department's 4th District task
force, officer Joseph Lusk was involved in a plethora of Algiers drug
busts, arresting people for dealing or using illegal drugs.
Lusk's own arrest last month on suspicion of malfeasance in office
means 37 of those cases have been dropped so far by the Orleans
Parish district attorney's office -- whose prosecutors can't press
forward on cases with an allegedly corrupt cop as a main witness.
