Well, this one is a shocker. Usually when politicians get arrested it’s for normal things like political corruption. But THIS guy seemed to have more nefarious ideas in mind.
Mississippi Senator Thad Cochran’s main aide, Fred Pagan (and with a last name like that…) has just been arrested with over a kilo of the date rape drug GBL and also meth.
A Mississippi Senator’s personal assistant has been charged with trafficking drugs from China to use as payment for sexual favors.
Police launched an investigation after seizing a package on April 9 with over a kilo of the date rape drug GBL addressed to Fred Pagan, office manager and personal assistant to Sen. Thad Cochran (R-MS).
Raiding his home on Thursday, they uncovered 181.5 grams of meth.
Pagan was paid $160,000 in his Senate role last year, the Washington Post reports.
The paper states Pagan, 49, has worked for Cochran since he was 16 years old.
He is charged with one count of possession and intent to distribute methamphetamine and one count of importing a controlled substance.
The former is punishable by five to 40 years in prison, the latter by up to 20.
The Senator’s office confirmed that the arrest occurred but had no other comment. I don’t blame him for wanting to stay silent on THIS one!!
