Police detain man over misunderstood beer-enhancing condiment [1]
['Mark Frauenfelder']
Date: 2023-04-13
In this video, we see a man who is being detained by police as they examine a small plastic bag of white powder found in his sunglasses case.
"White crystal substance," says Officer #1. "Probably gonna be methamphetamine but we will test it just to make sure.
"That's salt!" yells the detained man. "God, it's salt!"
"Okay, we'll figure it out in a second," Officer #2 says to the man.
"Who would keep salt in a bag like that?" Officer #1 asks Officer #2.
When they test the white powder with a drug identification kit, Officer #1 remarks, "That consistency is definitely salt. "It's clear, right? That is the first time I've ever seen anything like that."
Office #2, still unsatisfied with the test result, says to the man, "I'm still confused as to why you keep a bag of salt tied up like that in your sunglass holder."
The man replies, "Because I keep it convenient to put it in my beer to drink it. I pour in a cup of ice with salt."
Can't argue with that!
