It's a twofer of tarnished badges in Baltimore, and an LAX TSA agent was a bit too helpful for his own good. Let's get to it:

In Baltimore, a Baltimore County police officer was arrested last Thursday for growing marijuana. Sarah Campbell, 32, went down after a lengthy investigation by a DEA task force and is charged with manufacture of a controlled substance, possession of marijuana and paraphernalia, and possession of a firearm accessible by minors. She has been released on $15,000 bail.

In Los Angeles, a former TSA officer was indicted last Friday for allegedly taking $500 bribes to allow bags full of marijuana to be cleared through screening checkpoints and loaded onto airliners at LAX. Deondre Smith, 33, is accused of doing so on at least nine occasions, with the weed headed to Charlotte, North Carolina. He is charged with conspiracy to distribute marijuana and bribery of a public official, and is looking at up to 15 years in prison if convicted.

In Baltimore, a Baltimore police officer pleaded guilty last Thursday to stealing thousands of dollars during a sting operation in a local hotel room. Officer Maurice Jeffers, who had been accused of theft on four previous occasions, went down after internal affairs investigators set up a sting and then watched as Jeffers pocketed $3,000. He pleaded guilty to one count of theft and is looking at up to 10 years in prison when sentenced in February.
