CORRUPTION * USA - Trucker accosted by WY trooper sues the state

Cheyenne,WY,USA -Land Line Magazine, by Charlie Morasch -April 14, 2010: -- A Wal-Mart truck driver kidnapped and accosted by a state trooper in Wyoming who considered killing the driver has sued the trooper and several other state officials... In November, former trooper Franklin Ryle Jr. was sentenced to 15 years in prison for the kidnapping plot, which included plans to kill the driver before staging a crash and collecting settlement money from Wal-Mart... On Jan. 8, 2009, Ryle pulled Colorado trucker Richard Smidt over on Interstate 25 outside of Douglas, WY. Ryle took Smidt into custody but didn’t take him to jail, and he later admitted that he considered killing the truck driver... The FBI and the Wyoming Highway Patrol began investigating Ryle after his wife told her brother, a police officer, about her husband’s plan to kill Smidt... The investigation into Ryle also revealed that two troopers involved in the Wal-Mart truck scandal told Wyoming Highway Patrol supervisors they had been involved in smuggling steroids into the U.S. from Mexico and had used steroids while they worked as state troopers...
