Manage episode 375361131 series 3479931
Cleo Lewis was a military veteran who had just finished serving eight years in the air force. With a wife, kids and a mortgage to pay now, he is looking for a job that pays well and someone encourages him to become a police officer. He admits that he only joined because of the pay and not really in it to make a difference in the community. After a few years he ends up becoming an undercover police officer during the crack epidemic that hit America in the 1980's. On one such undercover mission, he believes he is meeting some local neighborhood drug dealers but ends being face to face with some upper level Columbian's. They become suspicious of him and ask him to take a hit of crack cocaine. His plan is to punch the guy in the face and run out of that house, that is until he hears the unmistakable sound of an AK-47 being bolted and being placed to the back of his head. He ends up having to take a hit of the crack cocaine. This one event changed his life forever. Tune in to hear how he went from air force veteran, distinguished police officer, to a drug addict, convicted felon, inmate and homeless on the streets of Phoenix, Arizona.
