    Erie county sheriff's Deputy Arrested in Drug Bust

    Erie county sheriff's deputies arrested their colleague -- James Riesz -- on Buffalo's west side Thursday afternoon. Sheriff Timothy Howard says Riesz had 14 or 15 packets of heroin in his possession.

    The 38-year-old Riesz works at the Erie County Holding Center in downtown Buffalo. He's been with the sheriff's department for four years... and before that he worked for the Buffalo police department for nine years. The U.S. Attorney's office says the F.B.I. put Riesz under surveillance after learning he's a heavy heroin user. The sheriff's office then teamed up with the F.B.I. to make the arrest.

    I certainly hope he wasn't a user for all those 9 years and I also hope it was our law enforcement team that contacted the US Attorney to begin with. Otherwise I would be truly disappointed.

    It'd be interesting to see if this guy cheated or was never tested....
