It had to be one no good very bad day for the Houston police officer who got arrested by members of his own police force earlier this month.

James D. Norman, who has been with the Houston Police Department just over three years, was arrested and charged with possession of between four and 400 grams of meth on April 4. He was immediately relieved of duty, with pay, pending the outcome of an internal affairs investigation, said HPD spokesman John Cannon.

Police busted Norman, 34, after catching his roommate red-handed in a drug-dealing sting operation. According to the criminal complaint, an undercover officer arranged to purchase $1,200 worth of meth from Norman's roommate, Abelino Lemm, and she saw Lemm walk out of his apartment to meet her at her car window with the stash. After the transaction, HPD raided the guys' apartment with a warrant, finding Norman as well as a box of 5.1 grams of meth inside. Both men were taken into custody.
