Two Homeland Security agents in Utah sold drugs that were taken as evidence through an informant in a scheme that made up to $300,000, FBI investigators say.
The agents sold an illicit synthetic drug commonly known as “bath salts” to a confidential informant once or twice a week beginning last spring through early December, according to an FBI affidavit filed in the case. The transactions typically involved one ounce (28 grams) of the drug for $5,000 that would then be sold by the informant at a higher cost.
