Rogue informant leaves trail of botched drug sting

CLEVELAND (AP) - Wes Ballard is trying to put his life back together
after serving 10 months in jail because of a tainted drug operation
involving a dishonest informant and a federal agent whose conduct is
facing multiple investigations.

Ballard and 25 other people were arrested in an investigation meant to
clean up the drug trade in Mansfield, a blue-collar city between
Cleveland and Columbus, but instead left a trail of legal fallout that
could affect the way the government pursues drug dealers.
