Dummy Of The Day Calls Police To Check His Drugs

When a Florida man contacted 911 to request a quality control check on the meth he had just purchased, he was merely looking out for his fellow customers, claiming he wanted to prevent others from buying the “false” product.

Police were more than willing to assist, even going to the man’s residence to examine the meth, which showed out to be genuine.

According to a statement from the Hernando County Sheriff’s Office, the call came in at 7 p.m. on Thursday.

“Upon arrival, deputies met with Thomas Eugene Colucci,” police said. “Colucci told deputies he had recently purchased methamphetamine from a male he met in a local bar, and after having used a bit of it, believed it was actually bath salts. Colucci went on to tell deputies he was an experienced drug user, having used methamphetamine in the past, and ‘knew what it should feel like.’ ”

Colucci produced two little baggies containing a white crystalline substance and delivered them to the cops, claiming that the chemical had not given him the experience he had hoped for. He was concerned that other people would buy the “fake” methamphetamine from the same guy, and he wanted to protect other meth addicts. Colucci demanded that the meth be tested and that the vendor be held responsible if there were any anomalies.

“Colucci wanted deputies to ‘put the person in trouble’ for selling dangerous drugs; however, he was unable to provide a name or any contact info for this individual,” police said. “As requested, a deputy performed a field test on a sample of the white crystal-like substance from each of the baggies. The substance from both baggies tested positive for methamphetamine.”

Colucci was charged with methamphetamine possession and two counts of drug paraphernalia possession. As he was being loaded into the police cruiser, Colucci complained of chest symptoms, so he was brought to a local hospital and then to the Hernando County Detention Center.

Police proudly advertised their illicit-drug services to the general public.

“If you, or someone you know, have doubts about the authenticity of any illegal narcotics you have on-hand or have obtained from another person, the Hernando County Sheriff’s Office is pleased to provide this service, FREE of charge,” the department announced.
