You Can't trust anyone anymore

A federal judge was granted a $50,000 bond Monday on charges that he purchased drugs on several occasions from an Atlanta club stripper with whom he was having a sexual relationship.


Senior U.S. District Judge Jack T. Camp Jr. was arrested Friday night near Sandy Springs and held in an undisclosed location by the U.S. Marshal Service.

The 67-year-old Camp is accused of purchasing and using cocaine, marijuana, Hydrocodone and Roxycodrone since last spring and using them with an exotic dancer he met at the Goldrush Showbar on Metropolitan Avenure, according to an affidavit by FBI Special Agent Mary Jo Mangrum, a member of a task force investigating public corruption.

Camp met the dancer, an FBI informant identified in the affidavit as CI-1, after he purchased a private dance from her, according to the affidavit. He returned the next night and purchased another dance and sex from her, the affidavit said.

And I'm ticked over my crack problem...

So you're the culprit.

No, mine's a Hot Wheels problem. Paying $35-$50 a car for "Card is in good shape with slight creasing and some edge wear on the upper right corner. Bubble is tight against the card with no cracks" and then watching the car either fall out of the blister pack or me being able to fit my finger through the plastic that is BARELY holding the car in the case.

Sorry for the confusion. As Lux Interior would say, you can get back on board the "Drug Train"...

When the feds get involved, it's no joke. It would be one thing if it was local cops trying to make the case (watch season one of The Wire if you need a point of reference on that), but the federal government doesn't play around. The feds have the manpower and the funding and the resources to make a case, taking their time to get all the evidence they need (and then some) to get a conviction. It's exceptionally difficult to win a defense case against federal prosecution.

The FBI undercover investigation began last spring. To be sure, they took their time with this.

According to other news reports, along with the other charges, federal agents say they found two loaded guns in Camp's car.

"FBI agents said they recovered two firearms from the front seat of Camp's vehicle -- a loaded .380 Sig Sauer P238 with its hammer cocked and a chambered round and a loaded Colt MK IV Series 80 pistol."

It's not just the stripper-turned-informant that Camp allegedly bought drugs from; he also allegedly arranged a drug purchase via the stripper from an undercover FBI agent, all set up to make sure that they had all the evidence they needed against Camp.

Law.com has a rather in-depth explanation about the case, including this paragraph:

At 7:15 p.m. Friday, Camp met the dancer in the parking lot of a Publix grocery on Shallowford Road in Atlanta where Camp said he wanted to meet the drug dealer, according to the complaint. Camp told her, "Let me let you pay him because you've already got a record. I don't."

Make no mistake: Jack T. Camp, Jr. is screwed.
