The lure of the black market profit

Outside of Atlanta, Jonathan Eaton, a 24 year old police officer who has only been on the job since mid-September, was arrested with his family for dealing drugs.

A search of the home turned up 11 ounces of methamphetamine, more than an ounce of marijuana, and more than 10-thousand dollars in cash, Sheriff Larry Amerson said. Six rifles and handguns, and several pipes used to smoke methamphetamine also were found.

This sounds too big to have just started three weeks ago and I have to ask myself how this guy ever passed the background check. That aside, I wonder why the guy would want to become a cop?
