I didn't pay much attention to this but this is absolutely crazy. A Police officer is so badly addicted that he needs to leave his gun at work for safety concerns, his wife elevated the problem but this went on for years with no action.

Mohammed Proctor is one of seven people who have had their convictions vacated
after the Suffolk District Attorney's Office started reviewing cases handled by
the Southampton Police Department's now-defunct street crimes unit. Proctor was
arrested in 2010 on drug charges by Southampton Officer Erick Sickles, an
officer later suspended for nine months. Internal documents obtained by Newsday
show that Sickles, who had suffered a back injury, admitted to his supervisor
that he was addicted to pain pills while on the job.
