FBI agents arrested a San Louis Obispo detective on allegations he was involved in a bribery scheme, the Los Angeles Times reports.

Cory Pierce, 39, was charged in federal court with one count of bribery, the LA Times wrote.

He’s accused of taking cash and narcotics from two people whom he calls “cooperating witnesses.”

In exchange, Pierce provided the pair with drugs for personal use and fake drugs to sell, the FBI reported.

Pierce also is accused of tipping off drug sources about the ongoing probe.
