Las Vegas Drug-Case Prosecutor Arrested for Buying Cocaine

[DAL]

A Clark County prosecutor assigned to some of Las Vegas' most high-profile drug cases was arrested Saturday after police say he bought crack cocaine from a street dealer.

David Charles Schubert, 47, was arrested Saturday and booked on a possession of cocaine charge, according to jail records.

Schubert was arrested by a Las Vegas police patrol officer at 4:51 p.m. near Desert Inn Road and Maryland Parkway.

The patrol officer saw what he thought was a drug transaction and stopped Schubert's vehicle near Sierra Vista Drive and Cambridge Street, police said.

Schubert, a chief deputy district attorney, recently prosecuted the Bruno Mars and Paris Hilton celebrity drug cases.

District Attorney David Roger said Schubert was also the prosecutor he assigned to a federal drug task force.

I bet FD is letting out a collective sigh of relief.. someone else gets the negative attention for awhile.

Maybe he was doing a sting by himself?

By himself and ON himself. A new breakthrough in law enforcement. Brilliant!

I heard on an LA news radio station that there was a passenger in the car who fled when the police stopped the vehicle. Perhaps the prosecutor will claim that the passenger was the one who bought the coke. That is not enough to get him off the hook, however.

Couldn't he just call it on the job training?

He wanted to understand the criminal mindset of the people he prosecutes, that's all.

Here's a link to a TMZ article... when it comes to this kind of stuff TMZ usually has the dirt and it's usually more accurate than most news outlets..

Evidently, the passenger was the middle man he picks up 4-5 times a week to score the coke

It's a cry for help. Obviously if Lyndsey Lohan can get away with it he can too right?

I wouldn't compare a two bit actress with a prominent Las Vegas prosecutor...

I'm sure he was just doing research for his cases

Property Impounded: ODV positive cocaine 0.01 net grams

Sounds like it was some good stuff!

I bet my eyelash weights more than 0.01 grams. I hope he got his $40 worth...

I think they should drug test prosecutor, if they don't do so already...Guy was caught buying crack, way to throw a career out the window...

I'm sure Paris Hilton is getting a laugh about this...
