Allen Scott Pillow, a Sheriff's Lieutenant in Greene County, Arkansas, who was also a former Arkansas State Trooper, was indicted for stealing FBI funds during an sting.
Greene had a "leadership position" in the narcotics unit of the Greene County Sheriff's office.
FBI agents set up a sting where they left a backpack full of $76,000 in FBI funds inside a vehicle in a Lowe's parking lot.

I assume that the FBI or someone reported something about the vehicle to Greene or to the Sheriff's Dept because Green went to the parking lot thinking he was helping out of state police officers and seized the backpack of cash from the vehicle.
Oh geez, I just realized I messed up his name, LOL. OOPS, sorry! I kept calling the Sheriff "Greene" but his last name is "Pillow," NOT Greene. Greene is the County name & Sheriff's Dept name.
So anyway, Sheriff Lieutenant PILLOW then told who he thought were the out of state police officers that he found a backpack full of..... $45,6000.00....and checked it into evidence.
Welp, that was a problem since the backpack really contained $76,000.00.

A search warrant was then issued and agents found the missing $30,400 in Pillow's pants pocket and arrested him.
How the heck you fit $30,000 in your pants pocket is beyond me, though.

So, that's about all the DOJ announcement said.
Now, my question is - why did they set him up in this sting? It seems like the sting was directly set up for him.
Since Pillow was in the narcotics unit, I wonder if there's been seized drug money missing in the Sheriffs office.

Or, maybe it was another case of actual drug dealers complaining about or reporting him for stealing their drug money, LOL.
I mean, there was another case recently where drug kingpins ratted out one of their own lawyers for swindling them. 😂

According to this, Greene County Sheriff Steve Franks said that there might be an investigation into his dept.
Hmm, and Pillow was demoted in 2014 for doing something shady with counterfeit cash.

Here it says FBI agents posed as Tennessee police and asked Pillow to help in a drug raid.
