Bag of cocaine found in used text book ordered from amazon.com
Sun 29 Jan 2012 - 13:54
Cocaine isn't your typical study aid -- but it helped a college junior
learn the lesson: buyer beware, according to a WPTV report.
Sophia Stockton, a junior at Mid-America Nazarene University in Olathe,
Kansas, ordered a textbook called Terrorism: Challenges, Perspectives
and Issues for her Spring semester.
After flipping through the pages on Monday she "discovered a bag of white powder had fallen to the ground," the station reports.
Fearing the mysterious substance was anthrax, the college brought the bag to the local police department the next day.
"I told them white powder was in my terrorism textbook and so I put it
on the table and they're like 'oh, okay,' and so he went back and
tested," Stockton told WPTV.
"He comes back and says 'you didn't happen to order some cocaine with your textbook, did you?' And I was like, ‘no!’"
The police estimated there may have been up to $400 worth of cocaine in
the baggie, and officials are investigating where the drugs may have
come from, according to WTPTV.
Stockton had purchased the pre-owned textbook through Warehouse Deals, an amazon
storefront that offers "deep discounts on open-box, like-new,
refurbished or used products that are in good condition but do not meet amazon.com's rigorous standards of 'new.'"
Warehouse Deals guarantees all its items are inspected prior to sale,
and Stockton could potentially file a claim that the book was "not the
item depicted in the seller's description," but the student is choosing
to take a diplomatic position.
"I have ordered many times from amazon and this is the first time I've seen anything like this. I don't think that amazon
is at fault in this case. They can't check every book that goes through
their warehouse. I'm guessing that it (the cocaine) was just left in
there by the previous owner of the book," Stockton told the community
news site GardnerEDGE.com.
