FBI Interview with Dan Lasater

Lasater's FBI Interview - 21 pages
    Excerpt: Page 12 - Jay Campbell likes to fly with Dan Lasater

Campbell has commented that he thought the investigation surrounding him (Lasater) was "chicken shit."

He first learned that Jay Campbell was associated with the DEA on the plane trip to the Arkansas/Ole Miss football game at Jackson, Mississippi, in 1985 when it was mentioned by Campbell himself.

However, Campbell had told him that as an officer with the Pulaski County Sheriff's Office he had been watching him (Lasater) in connection with his official duties but that he found that there was not enough there to make a case.
