Broward deputy arrested in drug/extortion case
By JOEL MARINO

A Broward Sheriff's deputy was arrested on extortion and drug-possession charges, days after he promised to not bust a marijuana grow-house owner in exchange for cash, Sheriff Al Lamberti said Monday.

Deputy Manuel Silva, 34, was arrested Friday and jailed in the maximum security section of the county's main jail and is being held without bond.

Officials say Silva, a nine-year veteran of the force, showed up at the Fort Lauderdale home of Orlando Gutierrez, 38, on Sept. 29 and demanded to search his home. Silva was out of uniform but brandished a badge and a gun, Lamberti said.
