When kids are just fucking stupid
No drugs in cookies teen gave Lake Worth police, lab finds
So this idiot kid, Christian Phillips, who got busted on a DWI and for supposedly assaulting an officer is doing his court-appointed community service by delivering cookies to local police stations. The Blue Mound police department received a basket and thought they smelled marijuana. They field tested one of them and it came back positive. They put the word out.
So the kid pulls in to the Lake Worth police department and they hold him and ‘field test’ one of the cookies and it comes back positive for LSD! The initial news article indicates that the baskets, which also contained candy, had stickers on them indicating they were from M.A.D.D. (Mothers Against Drunk Drivers) So the kid is arrested and is looking at felony charges. This story spread around the world via the internet and everyone assumed it was true and that this kid was sick and twisted. Who else would try to cause cops to get high on pot and to trip on acid?
Of course the problem with this whole scenario is that the cookies were, in fact, just plain old cookies. So says the Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s office. No traces of narcotics. So what about those field tests?
I was prepared to throw the Blue Mound police under the bus with Lake Worth until I read this tidbit in a Houston Chronicle article about the case:
“Phillips, who was doing community service for MADD, had denied putting any drugs in the cookies and said his friend may have been smoking pot while he was baking, McGuire said.”
So there ya go, the kid is just stupid. While baking cookies for a big run through all the local police departments, you *MIGHT* want to fucking think twice about your bud smoking pot in the room. This explains why the Blue Mound police smelled pot. It does not, however, explain why Lake Worth police managed to test positive for LSD. I guess that says something about the validity of drug field tests?
