BENSALEM TOWNSHIP, PA \u2014 A former Bensalem Township police officer is in custody after authorities said he allegedly bought methamphetamines to sell to someone, court records state. <\/p>\n
Thomas J. Mee, 47, of Langhorne, was arrested on Tuesday as part of an ongoing drug investigation, according to a criminal complaint. <\/p>\n
Bucks County Detectives said that Mee allegedly made arrangements to buy a quarter-pound of meth for $500, the affidavit of probable cause states. <\/p>\n
The complaint states that Mee agreed to meet with an individual whom he believed to be a drug dealer at a Hilltown Walmart, where the exchange took place.<\/p>\n
Mee was then arrested on felony charges of drug possession and distribution, criminal use of a communication facility, and misdemeanor possession of a controlled substance, the complaint states.<\/p>\n
The amount of drugs seized in the arrest suggests that Mee possessed them with the intent to distribute them, the affidavit stated.<\/p>\n
Mee was sent to Bucks County Prison instead of posting $500,000 bail.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BENSALEM TOWNSHIP, PA \u2014 A former Bensalem Township police officer is in custody after authorities said he allegedly…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":131295,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[191,193,192,194],"class_list":["post-131294","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-bensalem","tag-bensalem","tag-bensalem-headlines","tag-bensalem-news","tag-bensalem-township"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/131294","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=131294"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/131294\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/131295"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=131294"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=131294"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=131294"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
