Fox News reports:

A second DHS agent, Nicholas Kindle, was charged in Utah for allegedly conspiring with fellow agent David Cole to sell seized drugs via a confidential informant. Both face felony drug distribution conspiracy charges, with Kindle also accused of profiting off U.S. government property. Kindle’s court date is Jan. 21, and Cole’s trial begins Feb. 24. They face up to 25 and 20 years in prison, respectively.

Prosecutors accuse Kindle and Cole of abusing their positions to acquire illegal drugs known as “bath salts” from Homeland Security evidence and from other law enforcement personnel, including U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers, falsely claiming that they would use the drugs for legitimate investigations.

The pair allegedly began stealing drugs from evidence and lying to fellow agents about the reason for gathering them in 2021. Kindle and Cole also allegedly stole thousands of dollars in cash, a diamond ring and a Peruvian antiquity from evidence.

Between 2022 and 2024, Kindle and Cole allegedly sold the drugs to a person identified in court documents only as a “source of information” for the department who they allowed to resell the drugs, and they did not arrest the customers.

The FBI says between $195,000 and $300,000 was made through the scheme.
