Drug War Gets Another Villain Off City Streets

So a lawyer was going to visit his client in jail, and, whoops, this lawyer had coke on him!

So what was he doing, trying to smuggle in a stash of cocaine for his client? Nah, of course not:

[D. Scott] Perrine last night described the incident as a misunderstanding. Before visiting Curran-Fromhold, “I had a meeting with a client and his mother, and she had brought out [the vial] to demonstrate what she has to put up with,” Perrine said. “There was nothing really in it at all, and that vial is what was found in my briefcase.”

Perrine’s attorney, Larry Krasner, said there were .001 grams of cocaine in the vial - roughly 1 percent of the normal amount of cocaine that would be sold in the type of vial found in Perrine’s briefcase. Police officials confirmed that the amount of cocaine in the vial was minuscule.

Phew! It’s a good thing this menace to society has been arrested.
