The cops later pleaded guilty to some of the charges and lost their jobs... Six years later, Leah Fetter and Adcock are back in federal court trying to get the former cops and their former employer to pay... Fetter then got other officers to help him set up the two, pulling them over for a traffic stop and getting Officer Gagnier to plant the drugs...
