Crime stinks. Now, authorities in Columbia, South Carolina, are hitting dopers and hookers in the nose. Deputies in Richland County are using skunk gel to stink-up condemned buildings that are used as dope dens. Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott says criminal activity has taken a nose dive in the areas where they've tried the synthetic skunk oil. The chemical is called Skunk Shot and was originally intended as a cat and dog repellent. Sheriff's Corporal Danny Brown has the unpleasant job of applying the skunk gel. He says it's the most awful thing he's ever smelled. He adds it gets even worse after a few days in the heat.
"Skunk Shot" is probably more marketable than "Eau de Michael Moore".
