Have you ever been so pissed about a drug deal, you called the cops to complain?
I swear when I was a kid this used to be a joke, “Officer, he stole my weed!” But thanks to the internet, we can find out this actually happens every so often. Most recently, a man in East Hartford, Connecticut delivered himself to police for a drug offense after observing his $40 bag of cocaine seemed a bit light. 35-year-old native of El Salvador Antonio Recinos originally was going to call 911 to report the alleged shorting of narcotics, but happened upon a police officer and made his complaint face to face.
Not surprisingly, the move landed him in the back of a cruiser and he didn’t even have time to enjoy his overpriced bag of coke:
Recinos, who displayed a small bag of cocaine, told the officer that he had been shorted by his dealer. While it is unclear what Recinos, who apparently had been drinking, expected the cop to do on his behalf, he likely did not expect to end up in handcuffs over his consumer complaint.
Recinos was busted for narcotics possession, and released on $5,000 bail.
