A Florida man allegedly called the police to have them test the authenticity of some methamphetamine he’d recently bought.
At around 7 p.m. last week on Thursday, Thomas Eugene Colucci called the police from his Spring Hill home. During the call, Colucci told officers at the Hernando County Sheriff’s Office that he’d bought some meth from a man he met at a bar. He also mentioned he tested the meth but was concerned that it might be low-quality meth or some other substance like bath salts.
The cops ended up coming to Colucci’s home, where he told them he’d done drugs before and knew what meth “should feel like.” “Evidently, the substance Colucci had recently purchased did not provide the expected sensation, hence the call to 9-1-1,” the sheriff’s office said.
During his visit from the police, he told them that he wanted the person who sold him the drugs to get “in trouble” so that more people wouldn’t buy the “fake” meth. He even showed the police two small bags of the meth, which police tested and confirmed was meth.
By the end of it, police arrested Colucci and charged him with possession of methamphetamine and two counts of possession of drug paraphernalia. Fox News reports police set his bond at $7,000. Colucci was never able to name or identify the person who sold him the drugs.
