Authorities in Florida said members of a Polk County drug task force were videotaped playing a bowling video game on the Nintendo Wii during a search.


Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said disciplinary action is likely against eight of the 17 law enforcement officers involved in executing the March search warrant at the Lakeland, Fla., area home of convicted drug dealer Michael Difalco, the Orlando (Fla.) Sentinel reported Wednesday.


Judd said the officers were videotaped playing the video game by a wireless security camera in Difalco’s home.


I’m not pleased with their conduct, Judd said. There’s no reason for that. It’s inexcusable.


The sheriff said steps are being taken to ensure there are no similar incidents in the future.
