A former Florida sheriff's deputy was arrested Wednesday after investigators say he “routinely” planted drugs on unsuspecting drivers during minor traffic stops, leading to the dismissal of nearly 120 cases in a two year period.
Zachary Wester, 26, was arrested Wednesday morning in Crawfordville, Fla., after authorities say he allegedly pulled drivers over for minor traffic infractions, planted drugs inside their vehicles and ultimately arrested them on fabricated drug charges, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement said in a news release.
The former Jackson County Sheriff’s deputy was charged with several felonies including racketeering, official misconduct, fabricating evidence, possession of a controlled substance and false imprisonment.
He is also facing misdemeanor charges including perjury, possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia.
