JACKSONVILLE, Fla – The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) arrested a Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) trooper with 22 years of experience in Duval County on Friday after buying drugs from an undercover operative, according to federal court filings.

Joshua Earrey, who was also assigned to a Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) task force, was arrested on charges of being an “unlawful user or addict of controlled substances in possession of a firearm,” the filings said.

Oxy is a hell of a drug. I guess the "blues" haven't hit Florida yet?

Blues is just the street name for oxycodone but because there are so many pills being made counterfeit and tainted with fentanyl, you can also use "blues" to refer to "dirty oxy".

So, if anyone is curious as to why I posted this, it's because it seems the DEA is finally using federal laws to stop gun possession for those who are an “unlawful user or addict of controlled substances in possession of a firearm".
