A judge has ruled that the DEA is not required to compensate a Texas trucking company for damaging a tractor trailer that the agency used during a wild 2011 sting without permission.
The Washington Post reports that the tractor trailer was riddled with bullets after the sting ended in the execution-style murder of the truck’s driver, an informant.
The ruling essentially prevents more information from being disclosed about the incident.
The owner of the trucking company also is worried that his business is in danger of being retaliated against by the drug cartel that encountered the truck.
