‘Family Values’ Alabama Tea Party Leader Arrested For Trafficking Meth

http://bipartisanreport.com/2016/08/21/family-values-alabama-tea-party-leader-arrested-for-trafficking-meth-details/

An Alabama conservative leader has been arrested for helping to lead a meth trafficking ring.

John Fisher Jr. has long been an aspiring thought leader for the right-wing community, hosting a radio show and an active politically oriented Facebook page, The John Fisher Show. Fisher is also a defense attorney — and the meth bust happened just outside his law office....

Most notably, Fisher railed extensively against illegal drugs — the very thing which the lawyer has now been arrested for.

In 2013, for example, Fisher went off on Alabama’s then-Secretary of Law Enforcement, Spencer Collier, after Collier’s son, Christopher, was arrested on charges of selling oxycodone pills, according to the New York Daily News.
