This drug bust went sour.
NYPD cops nabbed a Brooklyn man for possession of crystal meth but the drugs turned out to be a handful of perfectly legal Jolly Rancher candies, a lawsuit says.
The cop who arrested Love Olatunjiojo confidently stated in the criminal affidavit that he had professional training in the identification of methamphetamine.
He might need a refresher course.
“I don’t know if these cops have been watching ‘Breaking Bad,’ but my client is not Walter White,” said lawyer Kenneth Smith, who filed the suit Tuesday in Brooklyn Federal Court.
Olatunjiojo, 25, and an unidentified friend had purchased the sweets at the It’Sugar candy emporium on Surf Ave. in Coney Island last June.
Several blocks away, the two were stopped by Officer Jermaine Taylor and several other cops who searched the men.
The cops told Olatunjiojo, who ended up being detained for 24 hours, it was “only a matter of time before they found something,” according to the complaint.
Taylor also claimed that he administered a field test to determine if the candy was narcotics and got a “positive” result, the complaint states.
Two “red crystalline rocks of solid material” and four “blue crystalline rocks of solid material” were then subjected to a gas chromatography/mass spectrometry analysis at the NYPD lab.
Two days later the results were in — Jolly Ranchers, not a controlled substance, Smith said.
