A criminal investigation is underway in St. Petersburg following the discovery last week of cocaine in a fire station washing machine. The investigation is occurring on two fronts according to the St. Petersburg Times. The first is a criminal investigation by narcotics detectives. The second is being conducted by police internal affairs officers.
The cocaine was found a week ago in a small plastic bag.
