Vegas DA Arrested The prosecutor who held celebs Paris Hilton and Bruno Mars responsible for their drug busts now faces the same charges.

It was a lesson Paris Hilton and Bruno Mars both learned in 2010 when they were arrested in Las Vegas on separate drug charges. Now, the Las Vegas chief deputy district attorney who helped prosecute those stars has been arrested and booked into jail on drug charges of his own.

A drug approved to treat cancer and used to de-worm animals is being added to the nation’s cocaine supply, and public health officials are puzzled as to why it’s happening, according to a recent report in the Wall Street Journal.

On Dec. 18, 2010, the Center for Disease Control released its Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) focusing on the devastating effects levamisole can have, including a potentially fatal immune system disorder called agranulocytosis. (more…)
