Cops: Woman claims white powder came from doughnut

danarhea · Jan 25, 2010

MARYVILLE, Tenn. – East Tennessee police said a Knoxville woman who was later arrested for cocaine possession initially told an officer that she had been eating a powdered doughnut. The Maryville Daily Times reported that a 21-year-old woman was arrested on Thursday and charged with possession of a Schedule II substance with intent to sell or deliver. She was also cited for driving on a suspended driver's license, driving without proof of insurance, failure to maintain her lane of traffic and possession of drug paraphernalia.
According to an Alcoa police report, a field test on the substance indicated that the white powder she put in her mouth as an officer approached the car was cocaine, not a sugary pastry.

She was being held in the Blount County Jail on a $12,250 bond pending a court hearing on Monday.

Her big mistake? Claiming that the powder around her mouth was from a sugary donut. Sorry to say it, but that lady is a complete dumbass, for thinking that she could slip this one by the cops. If cops are experts at anything, it is definitely donuts. :mrgreen:

Well, if I had posted just the one liner, I would have been infracted for a BN violation, so here is what I did:

1) Posted a piece from the article, about the lady attempting to pull a fast one on cops, who are rigorously trained in pastry recognition.

2) Posted a link to the donut article.

3) Posted my comments on why attempting to fool a cop over donut ingredients is foolhardy.

4) The article is less than 48 hours old, or in cop language, 8 donuts old.

The thread passes the test for Breaking news, but after this post, I suspect that it might just be moved now, and if it ends up in the Basement, Lerxst is going to kick my ass. :mrgreen:
