There is SO much wrong with this story, but what I want to know is how they confused "cheese, shrimp and tortilla and tamale dough" with coc aine, and why it took them FOUR DAYS to notice it wasn't coc aine.
Also, why was he charged with 'driving while intoxicated' when they admit that 'several tests' for alcohol came back negative.
Moral of the story, dont drive a car through the South if you are brown.

The bigger problem is white people keep buy coc aine so the criminals buy the stuff from the cartel's who ship the coke north (through the south). So the cop's are on the look out for smuggler's.

I know a man that spent over a year in jail for not paying child support. The problem is that he had 2 DNA tests that proved that he was not the father and the judge knew that. The law needs to get their act together and stop putting people in jail unnecessarily.

either the cops are idiots or racist. Either way they do not serve the community. SOmeone should put them in jail for having 400 pounds of ignorance.

Cops are not chemists, they don't arrest people for possession of coc aine...
In Ca, for example, if you're found with a fat bag of "a white powdery substance resembling coc aine/illegal narcotics".. you can go to jail for 836.3/11550H&S.. 836.3 = reasonable cause / 11350 H&S = possession.
If when said "white powdery substance" is tested and found to be tortilla dough, the charges should be dropped by DDA/City Atty .. unless it was deliberately "packaged for sales", but that's a whole other issue
There is whats called a "Wells test" where cops in the field drop a small sample into liquid, it'll turn various colors to indicate what drug, if any.. they could also have had a dog alert.... but they didn't. It was probably an attitude arrest.
An enzyme found in cheese triggered false drug test results that led North Carolina deputies to think a man with 91 pounds of tortilla dough was actually carrying that much coc aine, the sheriff said.
The sheriff's office is writing Hernandez a $400 check to cover the food he lost when deputies thought it was drugs. But Hernandez said that isn't enough to also cover other expenses like the impound fee for his truck. Read more: www.charlotteobserver.com...
