Video Surfaces of Texas DPS Deputy Vaping Confiscated Weed Pen

This event actually happened back in 2019, however, it is just starting to make the rounds on social media. In a video recently released by the lawyer in the case,  Chad Harden, the now-former trooper with the Texas Department of Public Safety, was caught on camera inhaling pot from a vaping pen he’d just taken from a suspect, according to the video. Harden was suspended in June 2019 when he came under investigation by the Texas Rangers and resigned from his job three months later.

Chad states “I accidentally inhaled THC, as stupidly as that sounds,’’ Harden later admitted to an investigating officer, according to audio of the footage that Sloane posted on YouTube. You can read more about Chad's criminal activity by clicking here. SEE THE VIDEO BELOW.
