Admittedly, Wii Bowling is pretty addictive, but I sure as hell
wouldn't stop to play some if I was a drug task force member in the
middle of a bust. I'd be too busy stuffing a duffel bag full of
free drugs!
With guns drawn and flashlights cutting through darkened rooms,
Polk County undercover drug investigators stormed the home of
convicted drug dealer Michael Difalco near Lakeland in March.
As investigators searched the home for drugs, some drug task force
members found other ways to occupy their time. Within 20 minutes of
entering Difalco's house, some of the investigators found a Wii
video bowling game and began bowling frame after frame.
While some detectives hauled out evidence such as flat screen
televisions and shotguns, others threw strikes, gutter balls and
worked on picking up spares.
"It was an expansive scene, a lot of searching to be done, a lot
of waiting," Boatner said.
The raid cost taxpayers more than $4,000.
