FLORIDA: A man in the United States got arrested after inviting police over for a quality-control check of methamphetamine he had purchased at a bar, New York Daily News reported.
The man, identified as Thomas Eugene Colucci, called 911 last week. Colucci thought that the meth was actually bath salt and that he wanted to protect others from the "fake meth."
“Colucci told deputies he had recently purchased methamphetamine from a male he met in a local bar, and after having used a bit of it, believed it was actually bath salts. Colucci went on to tell deputies he was an experienced drug user, having used methamphetamine in the past, and ‘knew what it should feel like,'" the police said.
The 41-year-old was arrested for owning illegal narcotics and was charged with two counts of possessing drug paraphernalia.
The cops sarcastically said that if anyone has any doubts about the authenticity of illegal drugs, they would be happy to be of service and make a quality check.
