HARRISBURG, Pa. -- A small-town police chief who prosecutors said repeatedly smoked seized marijuana while on duty was arrested on drug possession and other charges Wednesday.

Police Chief Brian S. Cara, of Weatherly, in northeastern Pennsylvania, was released on personal-recognizance bail after his arraignment on charges of possession of marijuana and paraphernalia, obstruction of justice and attempted obstruction.

The state attorney general's office said a grand jury heard evidence that cocaine and marijuana had disappeared from the Carbon County police department's evidence locker since 2002.

Cara, 38, did not immediately return a phone message left at his home. It was unclear whether he was represented by a lawyer. Cara has been suspended with pay since investigators searched his office in August.

3. It happen all to often.

About 15 yrs ago, my department along with the TX Rangers and a Drug task force unit, arrested a Sheriff in south TX. When we arrested him he was pulling a horse trailer with 1600lbs of Marijuana and 2 horses, oh and 4 bales of coastal.
He got 20 yrs at the hotel in El Paso.
His story was he was doing a reverse sting.
