Brickbat: Never to Blame
A federal judge has ruled the Drug Enforcement Administration isn't liable for damages to a truck the agency used without the owner's knowledge or permission in a drug sting. The sting left the truck's driver dead, the truck wrecked and riddled with bullets and the cab covered with blood. Craig Patty, the truck's owner, says he he and his family also live with fear that they will be the target of retaliation from the Mexican drug cartel that killed the driver, even though he did not know the man was an informant for the DEA or that he was using his truck in a sting.
