It was the fourth day of the trial of Wester, charged with a multitude of offenses for allegedly planting drugs and paraphernalia in the vehicles of innocent motorists. He was arrested in July 2019 after a lengthy FDLE investigation.
Much of the testimony focused on Wester’s patrol vehicle and the unmarked contraband found in the trunk and elsewhere, including containers with methamphetamine and marijuana, a syringe and other items.
Wester’s defense lawyer, Ryan Davis, has suggested through questioning that the vehicle, which was stored in a Sheriff’s Office helicopter bay, was not properly secured for more than a month after it was impounded.
