Ashley Huff, a 23-year-old woman from the city of Commerce, was the passenger in a car that was pulled over on July 2. Police noticed she had a spoon in her bag that had “some residue” on it. Huff told them it was just SpaghettiO sauce, but they slapped her with a charge of possession of methamphetamine.

I do feel sorry for her -- I do hope that she follows through with civil action promptly. I have kept my own cutlery for use at the office etc. Not much of a stretch for most of us to commiserate with her dilemma.

It's getting kind of risky to eat. Now this:

Cops Mistake Okra For Marijuana, Send The Big Guns To Man's House

I think LE needs better training in identifying illegal drugs. Maybe?

Oh boy --thanks for the heads up....guess we'd all better rethink growing mint, basil and parsley in pots on the patio!

'The officer described Huff, a passenger, as &#8220;nervous,&#8221; noting sores on her face, arms and legs....'

'The officer reported he found a glass smoking device in the bag as well....' (Bag had the name 'Ashley' on it)

'After missing a pretrial hearing, Huff said she gave Jackson County police a false name.'

Reminds me of the time a young couple whom I suspected of dealing drugs lived next door to me. I had a planter sitting on my patio and an unfamiliar plant began growing in it. Every day I went into my backyard, I looked at the plant trying to figure out what it was. I knew it was probably just a regular weed, but I finally couldn't take it any longer. I yanked all of it up and tossed it in a dumpster.

I could just imagine getting arrested myself if the plant was something illegal and I'd have no way of proving I wasn't the one growing it.
