The Asheville Citizen-Times: "[T]he 45-year-old carpet cleaner found himself in the Buncombe County jail under a $300,000 bond on charges of driving while intoxicated, failing to heed police lights and sirens and possession of 91 pounds of cocaine.
He was released four days later after sheriff's deputies realized Hernandez, who said he doesn't drink at all, wasn't intoxicated and that what was in the back of his truck was exactly what he had said — $400 worth of cheese, shrimp and tortilla and tamale dough meant as a gift to his sister."

I'm sure they apologized PROFUSELY and immediately replaced the food. I guess those cops all had colds if they couldn't smell the difference between cheese, dough and drugs. Plus it took them FOUR days to figure it out??? Sure.
I'd be suing for wrongful arrest as fast as I could get the papers filed.
And in Buncombe County, too? Oh, that's just too perfect for words.
