Apparently, Mark thought his brother Bryan, who is Knight Oil Tools' co-owner, needed to take some time off from work because according to Louisiana state police, Mark paid a Sheriff's Deputy and a State Trooper more than $100,000 to plant cocaine, methadone, and vicodin under Bryan's car and then arrest him on drug charges. The plot was allegedly hatched with the help of Knight employee Russell Manual whose text messages and e-mails helped authorities reconstruct the following absurd story.

Via The Advertiser:

Two law enforcement officers and a high-ranking Lafayette oil executive have been accused of scheming to have a Lafayette man, the oil executive's brother, arrested last year by planting drugs in his car.

Authorities say the June 2014 arrest of Bryan Knight was the result of a scheme in which Mark Knight of Knight Oil Tools paid more than $100,000 in cash and gifts to two officers and to Russell Manual, a Knight employee, a news release from Lafayette Parish Sheriff's Office and Louisiana State Police said.
