Devil's advocate, but exactly how much cocaine was that, though? PDs greatly inflate the value of drug seizures to look better all the time.
And if he really didn't do it, how could he have known his roommate hid the drugs? It doesn't sound like the drugs were actively being sold from the house, just that they were stashed there.
According to this article from a Louisiana newspaper there were 100 g of cocaine hidden in the house. That's a lot of cocaine.

It also seems weird he would then resign from the police force shortly after that, but who knows, maybe he was just a really bad cop who turned into a really crooked politician.
Yeah, 10 grand is actually a reasonable estimate for 100g of cocaine in most regions of the US, depending on quality and how you're selling. The low end would be about 6k wholesale.
I didn't realise it was so expensive. I'm pretty sure will be cheaper to snort diamonds.
