CHARLOTTE COUNTY, FL - A Charlotte County deputy is off the streets and out of a job after an internal affairs investigation revealed he bought drugs and traded them for sex. But it doesn't end there.
We uncovered more details from the damaging report.
Deputy First Class Elio Santana was employed at the Charlotte County Sheriff's Office until a 23-page internal investigation was released outlining his crooked activity.
It also cost him his job. A report released by the Charlotte County Sheriff's Office Friday points out a long list of offenses connected to Santana.
“You never expect something like this to happen, especially from someone you know. Everybody is supposed to be looking up to the police,” said resident Dana Misinic.
According to the detailed report, a lot of Santana's cocaine purchases occurred during the day while was in uniform and driving a squad car.

If the charges are true, it's pretty brazen to buy cocaine in broad daylight, in uniform while driving a squad car.
One thing that really bothers me is that this department is using "confidential informants" to make these charges. The department needs to make the identity of these people known so their background and credibility can be ascertained by the public.
A great many people are in jail today because of utterly false testimony.
