James Hickox, a former DEA officer, was sentenced to 17 years in prison after admitting to stealing cocaine and other drugs, replacing them with 3D-printed versions. He earned over $420,000 from his illegal activities, falsely claiming that seized drugs had been destroyed. Authorities discovered various narcotics and weapons in his possession after his arrest. In a curious twist, Hickox compared his actions to Walter White from 'Breaking Bad', stating he was motivated by a cancer diagnosis to provide for his family.
Hickox's plea deal revealed he bagged over $420,000 worth of drugs while swapping real cocaine for 3D-printed decoys.
Authorities found stolen narcotics and guns in Hickox's house, marking a stark contrast to his role as a DEA officer.
