Texas sheriff department's newest cruiser funded by seized drug money

A Texas sheriff's department is showing off its newest cruiser and thanking an unlikely source, KTRK reported.

In a tweet, the Fort Bend County Sheriff's Office said the vehicle was funded by seized drug money.

The department shared a photo on Twitter of a decal on the cruiser that reads “This car was purchased by drug dealers."

The cruiser will be used around schools and recruiting events, deputies told KTRK.
