Food and Drugs

Heads up to all who travel through Asheville with food in your car. A Latino man from California was traveling to Johnson City, Tennessee to visit a sister. A sister he hasn't seen in ten years. A Latino man who is a legal resident. The man missed a turn and ended up in Asheville. He pulled over his truck because he saw steam coming out. A deputy stopped. The man thought the deputy wanted him to move so he drove away with his hazard lights flashing. Thinking the man was running, the deputy punctured his tires. Now for the good part. In the truck was an unidentifiable something. The deputy tested it for illegal drugs with a portable kit. The kit changed color so off to jail the man went. The unidentifiable something was a mix of cheese,shrimp,and tortilla and tamale dough. Of course it took four days to discover it was food not drugs. The sheriff's office wrote a check for $400.00 to cover the food he lost. An enzyme in the cheese triggered a false positive making 91 pounds of tortilla dough become cocaine. So no cheese eating through Asheville. It could be dangerous especially if you are Latino.
