Talk about a cop who decided to become his own best customer. Knowledge Maphosa, a thirty-two-year-old police officer in Gwanda, got busted for running a weed spot out of his room at the actual police station. Detectives received a tip that the lawman was storing illegal stuff in his quarters. They raided his room the next day and found dagga worth about a hundred and twenty Zimbabwe Gold dollars, along with a glass pipe used for smoking meth.
Maphosa was arrested right there, turning his personal space into a crime scene. He later stood in front of a magistrate and was convicted of having dangerous drugs. The court fined him three hundred American dollars. If he does not pay that fine, he will spend three months in jail. The case was a clear instance of a police officer getting nabbed by his own colleagues for the very laws he was supposed to enforce.
