Man Calls Cops To Report Crack Deal Ripoff

[matcom]

<snip>

A Chalmette man was arrested after calling the St. Bernard Parish Sheriff's Office to complain he had been ripped off attempting to trade a microwave oven for crack cocaine.

Joseph Bulot, 32, of 600 Oak Tree Lane, Apt. B, was booked Saturday just after 4 a.m. on a misdemeanor charge of possession of drug paraphernalia after he showed a sheriff's deputy a crack pipe he said he had used to smoke what turned out to be fake cocaine, according to a sheriff's report.

A sheriff's deputy field-tested the off-white rock, which showed no traces of cocaine, the incident report said.

Bulot had called the Sheriff's Office from the 8900 block of West Judge Perez Drive, several blocks from his apartment. He told a deputy he traded a microwave oven to two men for crack in the 500 block of Oak Tree Lane, but when he took the drug home and tried to smoke it, he discovered it was bogus, the report said.

1. What's the world coming to when you can't trust your crack dealer?

5. Half-right

This is the result of the poor example and lack of moral leadership of the American public taking care of its own.

We're all to blame.

While the story is silly and worthy of a sitcom... as long as we allow poverty...

It takes a village; individualism can only go so far. Is it more civilized to believe "every man for himself", or "if we stick together, we'll survive and prosper"?

3. I was in the ARmy with an Iowan who did somehting like this

He and his brother had been thieves who primarily broke into farm houses. Well after one breakin he told his brother that he wanted the TV or microwave they had stolen that day. His brother told him to f-off so this guy called the cops on his brother for not giving it to him.

When the cops walked into the brother's apartment it looked like a Circuit City. The older brother got time in jail and the guy I served with in the Army got sent to Juvey.

True story

4. What was he thinking?

A real drug dealer is going to trade crack for a microwave oven? Makes it kind of tough to be inconspicuous, walking around with a microwave oven in your back pocket.
