Former Police Chief protects confidential informant-gets 14 days in jail :: 03/17/2014

"The director of the Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers was arrested and held in contempt of court Friday after he refused to reveal the identify of a tipster - even eating a piece of paper to prevent the judge from obtaining the details."

We think the former Chief did the right thing. The good news is that the next day, the judge stayed the 14 dayjail sentence for contempt.
