Drug Enforcement Administration agent Chad Scott was arrested Oct. 1 and charged with perjury, falsifying witness testimony and pocketing money from criminals. A swaggering drug cop with the Drug Enforcement Administration, Scott and the task force he ran played hardball with the dealers running product through the region, earning big busts and kudos from superiors. The agent’s law enforcement career began and then boomeranged back to the Interstate 12 corridor. The indictment also accuses the law enforcement agent of taking $10,000 in exchange for recommending to prosecutors a lighter sentence for a drug defendant. Law enforcement was waiting.
