Anyone can turn their life around, but if what they say is true, this wasn’t a joint of marijuana or a six pack of beer found in the car.
It was PCP, among the hardest of hard core drugs.
Church-going guys turning their lives around don’t drive around with PCP. End of story. Of course, they will say it was planted, he wasn’t using it, it is a smokescreen, blah blah blah. They will probably attribute his strange behavior to a diabetic condition or something, but...if he had PCP in the car...
Autopsy will be interesting.
