Littleton Police Officer Jeffrey Allan Johnston, 46, is
facing charges that “The alleged drug activity was confined to his personal
life and there is no indication or belief that any criminal misconduct occurred
in relation to his work with the Littleton Police Department,” said Cooper.According
to an FBI affidavit, on July 15, Johnston called a known drug dealer who has
peddled his wares during parties at Johnston’s Parker home in the past. Johnston
asked if he could buy between 40 and 50 ecstasy pills. The FBI then conducted a
“controlled delivery” of 37 pills and 6 grams of ecstasy powder, for which
Johnston paid $1,300. Following the exchange, Johnston was taken into custody
and his home was searched.In the kitchen, agents found the fresh delivery and a
Colt Officers Model .45-caliber pistol loaded with seven rounds in the magazine
and one in the chamber. They also found suspected cocaine, suspected steroids,
hundreds of suspected prescription pills, additional firearms, hundreds of
rounds of ammunition, empty pill pouches, a drug test kit and a scale.

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – The Belle Plaine police officer accused
of driving under the influence in November 2012 while off-duty pleaded guilty
on Wednesday to one gross misdemeanor count of DWI. Bryan Pasek’s second DWI charge and his speeding ticket for

Pasek had registered a 0.17 BAC at the time. His sentence includes two years of
probation, a $700 fine, and 40 hours of community service. He was granted a stay of imposition, so as long as Pasek follows the
terms of probation, his conviction will be discharged at the end of the
probationary period, although a misdemeanor conviction will remain on his
criminal record.
