  1. Newsbrief: This Week's Corrupt Cops Story 9/3/04

    One thing you can say about drug prohibition is that it provides an endless supply of fodder for this feature. This week, we head down south to West Memphis, Arkansas, where the Crittenden County jail administrator was charged August 23 with possession of a controlled substance and public service bribery, the Memphis Commercial Appeal reported.

    Reginald Abram, 29, was busted after accepting delivery of more than two ounces of cocaine for delivery to an inmate, West Memphis Police Chief Mike Allen told the newspaper. "We received information that Reginald Abram was using his official capacity as chief administrator of Crittenden County Detention Center in an illegal capacity," Allen said. So they set him up and busted him when he bit.

    Abram is a five-year veteran of the Crittenden County Sheriff's Department. He took over the jail administrator job June 5. There must be something about that position. Abram got the job after his predecessor, Robert Bretherick, was charged with witness tampering and deprivation of rights.
