Former Officer Jamie Buford Receives 6-Year Sentence

A former South Bend Police officer will spend six years behind bars for selling stolen guns and drugs.

Back in February, former St. Joseph County Officers Andrew Taghon and Ryan Huston and former South Bend Officer Jamie Buford all pleaded guilty to wire fraud, drug, and weapons charges.

They took drugs, guns, and electronics from two trailers and sold them with the help of a convicted felon.

On Thursday, Buford was sentenced to six years behind bars.

Taghon was sentenced on Wednesday and will spend six and a half years behind bars.

Huston will learn his punishment for the crime in July.
