Man Sues After Busted for Drugs that Turned Out to Be Jolly Rancher Candies

This actually (apparently) happened according to Fox News:

A New York City man reportedly has filed suit in federal court after the NYPD arrested him for possession of methamphetamine that lab tests subsequently revealed to be Jolly Rancher candies.

…

The suit reportedly stems from an incident that occurred in Brooklyn’s Coney Island neighborhood around 8:30 p.m. on June 20, or just after Olatunjiojo and two pals purchased candy, and specifically two red and four blue Jolly Ranchers, from a local candy shop.

Kenneth Smith, Olatunjiojo’s attorney, has since told The Smoking Gun the candies were still in their wrappers when the officers stopped the trio – and searched them.

After finding the Jolly Ranchers, Olatunjiojo and one of his friends were arrested for drug possession, according to the lawsuit. The third man also was reportedly busted for interfering with police, after telling the arresting officers, “It’s candy!” [emphasis added]

The man was arrested and spent 24 hours in jail. Even though the tests came back proving these were, in fact, Jolly Ranchers, the charges weren’t dropped until his court appearance.

Yep. That’s right. That guy had the audacity to buy candy in the U.S. of A.! What does he think this is, a free country or something where one can just buy candy whenever he wants to and dare to walk around with it in his pocket?!

Let that be a warning to the rest of you… you better think twice before you buy candy in America.
