Cops Don't Know SHIT !



A Texas man has been cleared of drug possession charges after authorities say they mistook kitty litter in his car for methamphetamine.



Ross Lebeau was arrested last month, fingerprinted and had his mugshot taken after cops say he admitted to having marijuana in his car during a traffic stop.



However, cops apparently weren't as interested in the green stuff after they say a field test of a substance they discovered in a sock in Lebeau's car came back positive for meth.



The bewildered 24-year-old was charged with possession of a controlled substance of 200 grams, a big bust for the Harris County Sheriff's Office, who even released a statement boasting they "may have kept our and loves ones free from being introduced to drugs." As it turned out, they only discovered what was keeping Lebeau's windshield free of fog.



Lebeau told KTRK the kitty litter was placed in a sock and left in his car by his father to prevent the glass from fogging up. Lebeau's attorney, George Reul, blamed the method used for field testing the alleged drugs, not police ineptitude.

"Ultimately it might be bad budget-cutting testing equipment they need to re-evaluate," said Reul.



Nonetheless, Lebeau said he wants an apology as he seeks to clear his name after all charges related to the arrest were dismissed.



In their defense, the folks at the Harris County Sheriff's Office say Lebeau told them he had no idea what was in the suspect sock.

From the Cops.......

"The drugs were recovered and in the process of inventorying his vehicle a substance was found wrapped in one sock in his vehicle. Mr. LeBeau was questioned about the contents at which time he indicated that he had no idea what it was. The deputies followed proper procedures and field tested the substance on two separate occasions which field tested positive for methamphetamines, notified the District Attorney's Office who accepted charges for possession of controlled substance of 200 grams and Mr. LeBeau posted bond and was released."

From the cops..............

"During the investigation Mr. LeBeau failed to identify the substance and later, after being released indicated on social media that the substance was cat litter that he kept in a sock in his vehicle.

Regarding this incident all indication shows that the deputies followed basic procedures and followed established protocol related to this incident. Because of the established procedures in place and this contraband was submitted to the Institute of Forensic Science it was determined not to be"methamphetamine and charges were dismissed.

Man, that is a pretty damning story about the intelligence of all of the law officials involved in the case. I hope a bunch of heads roll, but I know they won't.

The apology is pretty lacking as well. The Police Academy that turned those guys out along with the dime store testing kits need to be shut down,

This was a case of over zealous under trained cops who lacked sufficient reasoning capabilities to be wearing a uniform.

I am one of the first to stand up for our guys in blue, however, when a few put headlines glory above commonsense and reasoning I come down hard, These flatfoots jumped on the BIG BUST Bandwagon running for the nearest newspaper to cover their latest accomplishment. Had even one of them taken a tweezer smelled and or tasted the litter they would have known it was NOT Meth Those Glory Hounds deserve to be fired for their stupidity coupled with their over zealous desire for the glory of a major conviction. Look at the street value of 200 grams of meth... look at the person who had it, the vehicle it was in... it does NOT add up and should involve NUMEROUS Red Flags.
