GREENVILLE, S.C. - The “generous stranger” who spent over $500 on cookies so two Girl Scouts wouldn’t have to stand in the cold, has been arrested by U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency.

Detric McGowan was arrested Tuesday morning by the DEA according to WSPA. He was arrested with 10 other suspects for conspiring to import drugs from Mexico as well as numerous other charges.

Karen Kelly, a vice president of the local Girl Scouts chapter, responded to the arrest in the Greenville News:

"Nobody was hurt. Nobody was threatened. We had no reason to believe that this man was anything other than one of our valuable customers that is helping Girl Scouts power awesome experiences through the Girl Scout Cookie Program. "This is now in the hands of law enforcement and of course we will cooperate with authorities."

He did not want completion from the Girl Scouts and their “brownies”.

"one of our valuable customers that is helping Girl Scouts power awesome experiences through the Girl Scout Cookie Program"

The fact that a Girl Scout spokeswoman speaks in this PC gobbledygook language is the real crime in this story.
