Man arrested after cops mistook doughnut glaze for meth gets $37,500 from Orlando
TThe City of Orlando paid $37,500 to a man to settle a lawsuit after police officers arrested him for what they thought was meth but was actually tiny flakes of glaze from a Krispy Kreme doughnut.
Daniel Rushing sued the city after a field test incorrectly showed he had drugs and he was arrested and taken to jail.

Lol!!!
LMAO, that’s a well fed doggie!!
Maybe he pretended to be baked to get a rise out of them because he kneaded the dough.
At yeast it’s a possibility.

“...after a field test incorrectly showed he had drugs and he was arrested and taken to jail.”
How many busts ere just invalidated? Unless there is a second, regular lab test, a lot of people are going to contest their arrests based on field tests.
;)
He must have been frosted as they arrested him. I know I would be angry.
I wonder how the voters feel about the officers frittering away that much money?
One of the officers thought the donut wasn’t meth, but actually an aircraft - because it was a *plain* donut.
They need to scrap that field test if it gives a false positive on doughnut glaze. But I’m wondering if the cop actually performed a field test or was just so sure that he claimed it was positive.
Geez. You’d think cops were experts on eye-balling doughnuts.

Night, all.

“Well, he did get the dough.”
Will you be here all week?
“And this is assuming that the test wasn’t purposely tainted”
If the “perp” did it deliberately, absolutely ingenious. A real moneymaker!

Thank you.
Too funny, something like that happened to my room mates and I one night during a shakedown search when the drug dog ‘alerted’ on a chair in our barracks room.
Our acting First Sgt was a slightly crazy Redeye section sgt who had it in for the Scout Plt. We were all a bunch of dopers and thieves in his eyes, admittedly we did scrounge or forage pretty liberally, OK we stole anything marked US Property that wasn’t riveted down.
One of our squad leaders was the original Sgt Bilko, he’d leave in the morning with a jeep full of our ill gotten loot and come back with anything you needed, wheeling and dealing across post.
Anyway Top’s eyes lit up, he finally had us! He searched down in the chair cushions and came up with the petrified remnants of a hot dog and the end of a bun...which the dog snatched out of his hand and wolfed down.
Top nearly had a stroke over that one, we were pigs and dirt balls as well as thieves and dopers after that.
