Ill-inois: Drug sweep at middle school finds no drugs--except in security guard's car

An East St. Louis, Illinois middle school is drug-free now. However, the Belleville News-Democrat reports the bad news on how that school got there.
A drug sweep at Lincoln Middle School in East St. Louis showed the kids didn't have any drugs, but police said the guy who was supposed to keep them safe was peddling dope at the school.

Security guard Alvin Golliday, 29, of Cahokia, was found to have marijuana in his car when drug investigators with police dogs searched through the school starting at 9 a.m. Friday, police said. He was charged with possession of cannabis with intent to deliver on school grounds.

The sweep was conducted by the St. Clair County Sheriff's Department and the department's Drug Tactical and Street Crimes units. The Belleville Police K-9 union also assisted.
There's more to this story. Where were the East St. Louis cops?

Well, one ESL police detective was indicted last month for allegedly possessing cocaine--and conspiring to distribute it.
