Greene County, Missouri prosecutor Darrell Moore has decided to either dismiss or not file charges on more than 250 drug cases, because the employee at the crime lab who tested the drugs was also using the drugs.
The dismissed cases involved methamphetamine, cocaine and other powder drugs. Investigators say Barb admitted to them last April that he was addicted to meth and stole drugs for his personal use. That admission triggered the three-and-a-half month investigation that led to the charge filed on Monday. As part of his duties as a criminalist, Barb was supposed to test seized or purchased drugs so his findings could be used as evidence in criminal cases. In the charge filed on Monday, prosecutors say Barb stole meth from the crime lab sometime between Feb. 11 and April 28.
Unfortunately, this moron will probably make a deal of some kind. As it stands, he will probably only get 7 years maximum for what he has done.
