This is funny and sad at the same time. If one were to believe the old story about cops and doughnuts, one might think a police officer with 11 years experience could tell the difference between crystal meth and doughnut glazing.
Maybe the Orlando PD needs some new field test equipment.

Man Arrested Because Orlando Police Thought Doughnut Glaze Was Meth
An 64-year-old Orlando man has been cleared of criminal charges following his December arrest, when police officers thought a “rock like substance” on the floor of his car—actually the dried glaze from a Krispy Kreme doughnut—was crystal meth.
Daniel Frederick Rushing was arrested and charged with possession of methamphetamine after he was pulled over for speeding, NBC 6 reports. The arresting officer stated in a police report that she had “recognized, through my eleven years of training and experience as a law enforcement officer,” a dried substance on the floor of Rushing’s car to be “the substance to be some sort of narcotic.” The officer performed two separate field tests, which tested positive for the presence of amphetamines.

"It feels scary when you haven't done anything wrong and get arrested,” he told the paper. “It's just a terrible feeling."
