At least he wasn't drinking like Secret Service agents!
"Ex-FBI agent charged with 64 counts in drug tampering case" Associated Press March 21, 2015
WASHINGTON — Fueled by an addiction to prescription painkillers, an FBI agent abused heroin from his own drug investigations and in the process botched dozens of cases involving suspected drug traffickers in multiple states, according to details that emerged Friday.
Matthew Lowry, formerly a special agent with the agency’s Washington field office, tampered with hundreds of grams of heroin seized during drug investigations in 2013 and 2014, keeping it in his car for weeks or months, and periodically using it, according to charging documents filed in federal court in Washington on Friday.
Lowry will plead guilty to 64 charges of obstruction of justice, heroin possession, and conversion of property, lawyer Robert Bonsib said.
Prosecutors say Lowry faces at least seven years in prison, but Bonsib said he will argue for less time than that.
The accusations against Lowry, 33, caused federal prosecutors to dismiss charges against at least 28 defendants in drug cases. They will also notify 150 more that Lowry had participated in investigations targeting them, according to charging documents.

This case, as others, then fades down the ma$$ media memory hole.
