For twenty years, Cooper County Sheriff James Mitchell ran a complex drug trafficking operation while serving as the county's top law enforcement officer. This episode reveals how Mitchell exploited his position to control local drug trade, silence potential witnesses, and manipulate evidence. We examine the intricate system of corruption that extended through multiple levels of local government, the brave whistleblowers who risked everything to expose the truth, and the FBI investigation that finally brought down one of the most corrupt rural law enforcement operations in American history.
