Drugs in Utah? North Salt Lake City Attorney David Michael Nielson thought so. On June 27, 2010, Nielson was arrested for trying to buy cocaine. Besides North Salt Lake City, Nielson also worked as a contract attorney for West Bountiful City.
Here is the story from the Desert News.
An undercover drug operation was underway near a mall when Nielson asked an undercover cop if he could buy cocaine. That night, 18 other people were arrested, too. Why did Nielson suspect the undercover cop was selling cocaine? Who knows, there must be a certain look or body language that druggies identify.
At any rate, Nielson, who is 54, indicated he would resign, and he was suspended from the West Bountiful City gig.
Attorneys abuse illegal substances, just like everyone else – even government lawyers in their fifties.
