The St. John the Baptist Parish Sheriff's deputy who was arrested Wednesday (April 8) after authorities say he perjured himself during a pre-trial hearing in October in connection with a massive marijuana bust on Interstate 10, lied on the witness stand when he characterized the traffic stop as "random" and testified that the driver was pulled over because he "swerved across the center line," a defense attorney said Wednesday.

According to the sheriff's office, more than 120 pounds of marijuana and $18,000 in cash was found stashed in cans and boxes inside the vehicle following the traffic stop on July 12, 2014.

The driver, Adam Landry, and his fiancé Miranda Davis were arrested and booked on several illegal drug charges.

However, the couple's defense attorney, David Belfield, said the inconsistent testimony that Deputy Cody Malkiewicz gave under oath on Oct. 9, led to the dismissal of the case on Feb. 3 by the St. John District Attorney's Office.

The following day, 30-year-old Malkiewicz, a nearly four-year veteran of the St. John force, was fired, according to the Sheriff's Office.

Belfield said Sheriff Office audio recordings of the deputy's radio conversations about the traffic stop that day, contradicted the sworn testimony Malkiewicz gave during the hearing at the Edgard court house.

"The whole story he made up about the stop while on the stand all turned out to be a lie," Belfield said. "He lied on the witness stand. Landry didn't cross the centerline. It was a designated, preordained stop," based on a tip.

How many of our citizens are in jail or prison today because of falsified police reports and perjury? Thankfully, competent and honest police management and prosecution uncovered the perjury in this case and removed the source.

The cop made a good drug bust and should be praised.

Too bad a corrupt liberal judge threw out the case over a minor technicality. .....

Majorly disagree.

Once a cop/police department has gotten away with perjury, it's clear where that slippery slope leads. The process was tainted and integrity demands the prosecution be dropped.

This department has sent a clear, unambiguous message to it's officers. It will go a long way to keep those officers on the straight and narrow. To societies benefit.

Letting drug dealer's go free isn't going to benefit society.

The liberal loon judge could have easily reprimanded the police office and still continued with the case due to the physical evidence of the drugs. .....

Pot is a plant and would not even be illegal if not for the machinations of fedgov and the prison-industrial complex. Remind me here -- doesn't fedgov hold the patent for using pot as medicine?

Actually the police didn't have probable cause to make the stop in the first place. The case must be dismissed.

Also, putting pot dealers in prison is a detriment to society.

Maybe that why many cops just prefer to shot their perps....
