document: High-profile drug prosecutor who took on Bruno Mars and Paris Hilton resigns after being caught '' `` buying crack cocaine '' '' The high profile Las Vegas drugs prosecutor who was arrested for allegedly buying crack cocaine has resigned . David Charles Schubert , 47 , who prosecuted Paris Hilton after her arrest on cocaine charges last year , and most recently took on singer Bruno Mars , handed in his resignation yesterday after a ten years as a veteran prosecutor , two of which were spent as a liaison to a federal drug task force . But this all came crashing down when he was arrested on March 19 after Las Vegas police reported watching him - in a white BMW sedan - buy $ 40 worth of rock cocaine in a neighbourhood east of the Las Vegas Strip . Clark County District Attorney David Roger said he accepted David Schubert 's resignation on Friday . Schubert is currently free pending a May 19 court date on felony conspiracy and cocaine possession charges . A telephone call to Schubert went unanswered . The street dealer Schubert allegedly bought the cocaine from claimed that the former prosecutor buys $ 40 of cocaine three or four times a week . A patrol officer stopped the deputy district attorney 's BMW in Las Vegas when he spotted what he thought was a drugs transaction . According to an arrest report seen by TMZ , the officer watched Schubert pick up a black man from an apartment block , then drive to another address where he dropped him off . Schubert drove round for several minutes and then picked up the man again , police claim . The officer pulled the car over , but the suspected dealer jumped out and fled . Police gave chase and took him into custody . According to the arrest report , the man , named as Raymond Streeter , told officers he knew Schubert as '' `` Joe '' '' . '' `` Joe '' '' had called him three or four times a week for the last six to seven months , Streeter claimed , given him $ 40 and driven him to an address to buy cocaine , the report alleges . Schubert was taken into custody and booked on cocaine possession charges . His two Las Vegas homes were searched and police took a blood sample , the Review-Journal reports . Mr Roger told 8 News Now : '' `` I just ca n't wrap my head around the idea that a prosecutor who knows the dangers of drugs would try crack cocaine . '' '' According to the Review-Journal , investigators are also looking into whether he may have compromised any previous cases . The prosecutor has worked for Clark County district attorney 's office since 2002 . He leads a state drugs task force and has been assigned some of its most high-profile cases . Mr Roger told the newspaper : '' `` It 's disheartening to know the individual who I assigned to prosecute high-level drug cases is allegedly using rock cocaine . '' '' In February Schubert prosecuted the case against singer Bruno Mars - real name Peter Hernandez - who admitted to possessing cocaine in a plea deal . He was sentenced to a year of informal probation . And last year he prosecuted Paris Hilton , who pleaded guilty to misdemeanour charges after police found 0.8 grams of cocaine in her handbag . Lawyer David Chesnoff , who represented both celebrities , told the Review-Journal he would n't speak badly of Schubert . He said : '' `` I 'm a big believer in the Constitution . I believe everyone is innocent until proven guilty . And I always root for the underdog . '' `` I will say this : David 's always been a real professional and always treated me with respect , so I wish him the best . '' '' Schubert also prosecuted the case of Steven Zegrean , who was convicted for shooting four people at the New York-New York casino in 2007 . His case has been assigned to the attorney general . If found guilty , he could face up to four years in a Nevada jail .
