The officer saw his concealed weapon license, asked to hold onto his gun for safety and had the driver get out of the car. That’s when the veteran officer saw four flakes of a white substance on the floor.I wonder how many other people have been falsely arrested based upon that roadside "test" they use."I recognized through my 11 years of training and experience as a law enforcement officer the substance to be some sort of narcotic," the officer wrote in her report.
The driver let her search the car, and she found more chunks, which two roadside tests showed were crystal methamphetamine.
Daniel Rushing was arrested, charged with possession with a weapon, strip-searched and jailed in December.
The 64-year-old Orlando man told officers he’d never done drugs in his life, and the crumbs were from his Krispy Kreme doughnut.
Weeks later, a state crime lab proved him right.
“I kept telling them, 'That's … glaze from a doughnut. … They tried to say it was crack cocaine at first, then they said, 'No, it's meth, crystal meth," Rushing told the Sentinel.
Is it 11 years of training and experience or one year of training and experience 11 times and she still hasn't passed the training part, yet?
Scary...don't run stop signs and don't speed.
And never eat doughnuts in the car!
I hope Rushing gives them all the bum’s rush.
