Captured by surveillance cameras in a 30-minute fit of rage, [Police Officer] Bigda threatened to kill and beat two teen boys, ages 15 and 16, as well as plant drugs on them … Two civil lawsuits have alleged Bigda had spent the night drinking rum at his desk before the incident … [In 2017 Congress subpoenaed the Drug Enforcement Administration for informant policy] … said that there’s evidence of “massive problems” with the DEA confidential informant program. Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) (2009-2017) subpoenaed the head of the Drug Enforcement Administration for documents on its confidential sources program.
