Uniformed officer allegedly caught smoking pot in patrol car

A Fort Worth police officer has been arrested and charged with possessing marijuana, tampering with evidence and is accused of also smoking marijuana while on duty and in uniform. Chief Jeff Halstead announced the arrest at a news conference. "As soon as I heard this information, as you can imagine, I was disgusted and I was furious," he said. Wesley Lamb, 34, was arrested on Wednesday morning following a tip from a Fort Worth resident that claimed the officer was seen smoking pot in a vehicle. The accusation triggered an investigation by Chief Halstead's special investigation unit - which he created a year ago to tackle officers who break the law. "The more investigations that come to my desk the more resources I will deploy, because I will never ever tolerate that kind of behaviour," the Chief said. The investigation unit set up an undercover sting. An arrest warrant affidavit states that on Tuesday, April 27, Officer Lamb responded to a call from a Fort Worth citizen who found 86-grams of pot and wanted to turn in. But the "concerned citizen" was actually an undercover cop and the marijuana was from the FWPD property room... Cbs
