Busted: Cops Wii Bowling in Perp’s House
By Benjamin Opal
It’s not uncommon to sneak in a little gaming now and then during the work day, but it takes an extra dose of audacity if you’re a cop executing a search warrant. Drug investigators in Polk County, Fla., were busted this week when a hidden camera caught the cops playing Wii Bowling during a raid. The investigators started playing within 20 minutes of entering the house, and bowled for a little over an hour, on and off, during the course of the day. Little did they know that the home owner, convicted drug dealer Michael Difalco, had a hidden camera stashed in one of his computer speakers, catching the whole incident. Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd called the incident an embarrassment, but said it didn’t have any effect on the job at hand. Nonetheless, the department is conducting an internal investigation.
