Clearwater Police Officer Arrested For Helping Suspected Drug Traffickers

This is shocking news! A Clearwater police detective was arrested after he allegedly helped two suspected drug traffickers. Fredrick Lise was protecting two suspected drug traffickers in a yearlong drug investigation and charged with corruption. He worked with the two drug traffickers by cluing them in on any new information the police were gathering on the duo. As a matter of fact, he even placed an alert in the system so whenever new information was added he would know and tell the dealers.

The Clearwater Police Department narcotics detective Fredrick Lise was following investigations and surveillance of Matthew Turner and Henry Smith. He was informed of an investigation involving the two men and was given access to the police system which allowed him to place an alert in the system. Whenever there was new information on the investigation he would be notified and that's when he would tell Turner and Smith about everything. He was caught and arrested for helping Turner and Smith get away with suspected drug trafficking. It unknown how long he was helping the duo.

Lise let them in on all their sensitive information including wiretaps used on their phone. Turner and Smith would make sure to switch phones whenever Lise would call so there would be no evidence that Lise was receiving money from the suspected drug traffickers. According to ABCActionNews Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri said, "He is a corrupt cop that needs to go to prison, It’s a kick in the gut to everybody, and it’s a betrayal.” Apparently, Lise was the head of the Clearwater Police union and with the department for over 9 years. He is facing eight felony charges, including misuse of public office, unlawful disclosure of criminal information, and unlawful use of two-way communication.

According to the Federal Bureau Of Investigation, the definition of a mass shooting is an event in which one or more individuals are actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a populated area. I live in St. Petersburg and there was 1 mass shooting that happened on March 31st.Thankfully nobody died but there were 4 people injured. With that being said, St. Pete is not one of the Florida cities that have the most mass shootings this year. You will find the cities below.

We are only in August and I was was shocked that there has already been 261 mass shootings in the United States. According to CBS news, 72 of those mass shootings happened in the month of June.

Thankfully nobody died but 9 were injured. There was also a drive by shooting in fort Lauderdale that left one person dead and four injured.
