-Short Attention Span Theater-

Top candidate for the Idiot of the Day award

A woman was arrested after she called police to help "get her money back" after she was unhappy with the crack cocaine she purchased. Juanita Marie Jones, 53, called Rochelle Police late Thursday night after she purchased what she thought was a $20 piece of crack cocaine, according to police reports.

She told officers she broke the rock into three pieces and smoked one, only to discover the drugs were "fake." She took Officer Joel Quinn and Deputy John Shedd of the Wilcox County Sheriff's Office into her kitchen and showed them the drugs, police said.

She was promptly arrested on charges of possession of cocaine.

#11 Then I guess I'm in trouble, Spot - I get a lot of my herbs/spices for cooking in the bulk aisle at Good Food Grocery.... ;-p

My mother-in-law once bought loads of herbs at a grocery co-op and mailed us several baggies of them. I was fully expecting a visit from the mail cops until the package arrived safely.

#8 You can be charged for trying to sell fake drugs, but possession of soap still isn't a crime, no matter what you tell the cops it is.

#7 Mike - I hadn't heard that; pretty disturbing really. I guess the moral of the story is not to buy your oregano in a plastic bag.

#6 Spot,

In most states, you can be arrested and charged with possession of fake drugs. Part of the War on Drugs(TM).

#4 That almost ranks up there with the jihadis involved with the 1993 WTC bombing going back to the rental truck company and wanting their deposit money back.

#3 if you're that intellectually low on the totem pole you should be arrested anyway

#2 Smoking soap. Where's the crime? Even if the prosecutor claims it was 99.7% pure.

#1 Hmmm, a conundrum! Either the drugs were fake - in which case why was she arrested? - or the drugs were real - in which case she must have been mighty stoned not to notice. I vote for the second case;)
How about a suit is small claims court?
