A crooked Texas cop snatched a suspected drug dealer's brand-new Air Jordan sneakers during a raid that turned up no drugs, investigators said.
Sgt. Antoine Williams, 37, was under investigation by the Fort Worth Police Department's after two officers on his narcotics unit said he stole the kicks during a raid on a suspected drug den on Oct. 16, NBC Dallas-Fort Worth reported.
Fort Worth cops said they'd made undercover buys from Marquis Green, 21, and obtained a search warrant on his East Fort Worth home, the station reported.
On the day of the raid, Green was arrested for a traffic violation near the house and spent the night in jail.
When he came home, he said several pairs of his shoes were missing, including the pricey Nike sneaks.
"They didn't find no drugs in the house at all," he told NBC. "They just took shoes that I ain't never wore."
Green also said a Grand Theft Auto video game and some $3,000 in cash were missing.
Cops reported finding $1,600 — but no drugs.
Wililams, a 13-year-vet, was placed on restricted duty on Monday after sneakers matching the ones taken from Green's house were found at his home.
The investigation is ongoing.
Green, whose rap sheet includes busts for drug possession and theft, said Williams was the real criminal.
"They is the bad guys, really," he told NBC Dallas-Fort Worth. "They just got a badge on their side, that's the only thing."
