LAKELAND, Fla. -- Members of a multi-agency Polk County drug task force who were caught playing Nintendo
Wii bowling while executing a search warrant in March have been found at fault in an internal investigation conducted by the sheriff's office, according to The Lakeland Ledger.
A video released in September of the March 6 incident gained national media attention after a video was recorded by a motion-sensitive camera attached to a computer in the home of Michael DiFalco.
The investigation centered on 11 members of the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area task force, including three Polk County sheriff's sergeants, three sheriff's detectives, one deputy who was temporarily assigned to the Bureau of Special Investigations at the time, one Winter Haven police detective, one Auburndale police detective, one Lakeland police detective and one Lakeland police sergeant. The officers' names are being withheld because they were working undercover.
The undercover detectives have all received a letter requiring them to complete two hours of retraining while supervising sergeants involved in the incident got a letter of guidance and four hours of retraining, according to the newspaper's report.
