A Florida man who routinely used his former position as sheriff’s deputy to frame and arrest drivers on fradulent drug charges, after planting drugs in their vehicles during traffic stops, has been arrested and charged this week.
The 26-year-old former Jackson County deputy, Zachary Wester, was arrested on July 10 in Crawfordville, Florida, after a nearly year-long investigation, according to a statement from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE).
