D’Antona, a former marshal at the Elm Street courthouse, has admitted to accepting over $5,000 in bribes from the Jacobs bail bond family over the past five years. The lucrative relationship ended when one of them, after being snared in a federal corruption probe, agreed to secretly tape their transactions and turn her in.

To be this brazen, it has to be accepted by Marshals and even the Connecticut State Police that taking bribes is just part of the job.
