as i said earlier , good-bye , finkley.-he was still begging when he finally realized he was talking to a dial tone.-then he slowly lowered the phone to the handset on the desk and put his head on his arms and wept like a two-year-old.-this was the way deputy colton keenan found him when he entered the office with bernie tavalerio and agent charles harrington right behind him.- they had determined earlier things would probably go more smoothly if they let the dea claim the collar and take him into custody.-that way he would be a federal prisoner and not subject to local politics.-harrington produced a set of handcuffs and read the sheriff his rights.-you are under arrest , lester finkley , for collusion in the trafficking of narcotics among other things.-you have the right to remain silent , anything you do say can and will be held against you in a court of law.-you have the right to an attorney.-if you can not afford an attorney okay , okay.-i know that damn speech and have been reciting it longer than youve been alive.-harrington was hustling the sheriff out to the waiting drug enforcement van and he continued to rant.-there is no way you can substantiate these charges.-besides , i have friends in high offices who can have these stupid allegations dismissed out of hand.-if you think for one minuteohhhhh !
