A sheriff’s Internal Affairs investigation concluded that Detective Albury Augustus Burrows, 40, who has served the agency for nearly 11 years, was the only person who could have stolen money last year from a Pompano Beach apartment where marijuana plants were being grown.
Burrows was taken into custody after being summoned late Tuesday to the sheriff’s Internal Affairs office, officials said. He was freed from jail early Wednesday after posting $1,000 bail.
Burrows is one of Pompano Beach nine deputies awarded the Gold Cross in March for heroism.
He was the officer in charge of the sheriff’s Selective Enforcement Team — which typically targets such crimes as street corner drug sales, prostitution, burglary and loitering and prowling — when the group shut down an apartment with marijuana plants Dec. 9.

… You have to have integrity to do this job,” Lamberti said. “It’s perplexing that you would throw away your career, your life, your family, for $1,200. It makes absolutely no sense. I can’t explain that to you. I wish I could.”
Burrows is one of nine Pompano Beach-based deputies given the Gold Cross Award in March, a prestigious departmental recognition of heroism involving great risk or serious injury. Deputies exchanged gunfire with a robbery suspect, who survived and was arrested along with two others.
The incident that led to Burrows’ own arrest occurred Dec. 5, when money disappeared from an apartment where marijuana plants had been found by the sheriff’s Selective Enforcement Team. Burrows that day was in charge of the team, which typically targets such crimes as street corner drug sales, prostitution, burglary and loitering and prowling.

Bad Girls Club Miami, Episode 11: Brandi Goes Wild and Then Goes Home
When last night’s episode of Bad Girls Club Miami starts out with “Brandi on the Rocks,” you know this shit is going to be good. Right off the bat, Brandi keeps repeating, “I never misplace money,” after loosing her wallet (which Kristen hid in Erica’s bed, by the way.)
Yeah girl, you’re a stripper. That is one thing we know for sure. Money in your wallet or in your g-string, we all know you know where it is at all times. It’s also terrific how she wants to work out her “anger issues.” What do you think got you on this program? Keep it up! Anger and violence are necessary parts of the Bad Girls Club.
Growing up, our mama always told us, “It’s the innocent ones you have the watch.” Well, ain’t that the truth. Ms. Ashley, who if she wasn’t talking shit wouldn’t be part of the …

Case in point: The first reader to comment about foreclosure attorney David J. Stern did so on July 28, a week before a depthy New York Times piece on Stern’s dubious role in the nation’s foreclosure crisis.
But you can look on YouTube to see that the company was exposed many months before that story was published.
I’ve been quietly keeping track of Stern coverage, but for some reason hadn’t written about the guy. Good folks emailed me articles and told me to watch Stern because he was the next Scott Rothstein.
And their are similarities, the most eerie of which is that Stern has a … million-dollar-plus Bugatti sports car. The difference is that Stern, unlike Rothstein, doesn’t have two of them. He’s also not surrounded by cops, bodyguards, or keep a stripper up at the Ritz Carlton as far as we know.
