SPRINGFIELD, Tenn. – A Tennessee state trooper has been stripped of all powers after being arrested for allegedly selling illegal drugs.
Tennesse Bureau of Investigation agents arrested 36-year-old Cesar Maldonado Monday evening at the Springfield Inn in Robertson County. He was charged with one count of delivery of a schedule II controlled substance called hydromorphone.
The trooper, who at times worked narcotics, was caught off-duty, but in full uniform and with his patrol car and K-9 unit.
“We received information he may have been using illegal prescription drugs,” said Kristin Helm with TBI.
NewsChannel 5 learned a prostitute turned confidential informant cut a deal to help detectives in the case. She met Maldonado at the motel for the drug deal.
