Nicholas Kindle, a special agent with the Department of Homeland Security, has been arrested and charged alongside his alleged co-conspirator, David Cole, for selling illicit drugs seized as evidence. The pair is accused of abusing their positions to acquire drugs, falsely claiming they were for legitimate investigations.
A second Department of Homeland Security agent in Utah was arrested and charged in federal court on accusations of using a confidential informant to sell illicit drugs that were seized as evidence. Nicholas Kindle, a special agent investigating illegal narcotics trafficking, was arrested three weeks after the arrest of his alleged co-conspirator, special agent David Cole.
Investigators began tracking the agents and recorded eight instances in which drugs were illegally sold to the informant. In one instance, the informant gave the FBI a plastic foam cup with a granular substance inside that tested positive for drugs. The informant said the agents left the cup for him in a parking lot trash can. Synthetic bath salts, also known as Alpha-PVP or cathinone, are believed to be similar to methamphetamine, cocaine or ecstasy, and are unrelated to actual bath products.
