A sheriff's deputy arrested in a drug sting has a dark past as a Neo-Nazi.

12 News has learned that Yavapai County Sheriff’s Deputy Justin Dwyer was not only a member, but also a former leader with the Aryan Nation in Washington State.

Deputy Justin Dwyer was arrested for trying to buy cocaine, and accused of sending his 15-year old son to a drug dealer to score the drug. It turns out he's also a former Aryan Nation leader, 12 News reports.

According to the Anti-Defamation League, back in the 1990's Dwyer acted as the Washington state leader for the Aryan Nation led by President Richard Butler. Dwyer also distributed racist fliers in Washington after leading the group over differences with leaders, 12 News reports..

1. One of my exes was a cop

And, the employment background check they did on her was exhaustive. It wasn't just running her name through the local law enforcement and DMV sites. And this was for a small town, so she wasn't trying to get a job with NYC or the FBI or anything.

So, how the hell couldn't they flag this dude???

2. They can overlook what they want...scrub the record so to

speak.

Or, they could just be incompetent boobs.

Then again, if he wasn't arrested in the past, or there was no law enforcement investigation, or outstanding wartrants, he might have slipped through the cracks....:shrug:

In any case, enlisting a minor to purchase cocaine is a pretty good indicator that this guy should see a long prison stretch. Wonder how he'll fair w/those he helped send to prison?
