Judge convicted of bribing federal officer with Bud Light

Federal prosecutors say a North Carolina judge has been convicted of bribery after he offered Bud Light and cash to an officer in exchange for text messages from his wife's cellphone because he suspected she was cheating on him.

Prosecutors say Jones asked a Wayne County deputy, who is also a member of an FBI gang task force, to get him copies of the text messages in October 2015, even though the law prevents him from receiving them.

Jones offered “a couple of cases of beer” to the officer but ultimately agreed to hand over $100 instead, according to the indictment.

Well, at least the deputy had the good sense to ask for money instead of something purporting to be beer but clearly isn't.

That was my first thought. No wonder he turned in him. Anybody that thinks Bud Light is bribery material clearly does not need to be sitting on the bench.

This is so messed up...Miller Light would have been the right answer

Guy must be a Keystone Light drinker if he thinks Bud Light was bribery worthy.

I think Keystone Light is great stuff. The ammonia in it is great at removing bug guts from my car's headlights.

That's about all I use it for, however.

Keystone Light is beer?

I thought that stuff was keg cleaner. Learn something new every day.
