COPS TRADE DRUG PROSECUTION FOR CARThe Milwaukee Police Department is accused of taking possession of a Mercedes-Benz convertible from a drug-addicted local businessman in return for agreeing not to prosecute him for cocaine possession. The businessman, Jordan M. Beck, was president of Mill Valley Recycling, a scrap metal business. Beck died at 42 from a drug overdose five months after his June 2005 arrest. Beck's family is trying to get the car back, arguing that he was pressured into making the deal and that he might be alive today if police had treated him as an ordinary drug offender.(MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL, unearthed by Joel Sogol)
