DEA agent indicted in dubious drug arrests

  1. "...A federal grand jury in Cleveland charged Lucas, 41, of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, in an 18-count indictment that accuses
    him of perjury, making false statements and violating three people's
    civil rights.


    \tThe charges stem from a bungled drug sting in Mansfield that led to
    the arrests of 26 people in 2005. Lucas led a DEA task force that used
    informant Jerrell Bray to make undercover drug buys and help scoop up
    drug dealers. But Bray lied his way through the probe.


    \t

    Seventeen people were wrongly charged, according to the indictment,
    as Bray intentionally misidentified people he bought drugs from and
    purposely staged scripted phone calls with friends, making the
    conversations sound as if he was setting up drug deals."
