Dollar bill found with traces of cocaine

NORWICH, CT -- A dollar bill with residual amounts of cocaine prompted response Monday by state police and emergency haz-mat crews.

A state employee with the Department of Labor found the dollar bill at about 4:20 p.m. inside the CTWorks Center of the Department of Labor at 113 Salem Turnpike.

As a precaution, members of the East Great Plain Fire Department, state Environmental Protection Agency and state police responded, cordoning off the area while the substance was field-tested, state police Sgt. Jonathan Montey said. They remained at the scene for about two hours.

The white powder tested positive for narcotics, Montey said. Police have opened a criminal investigation.

I've heard that about 95% of the cash in circulation has SOME trace amount of drugs...

Whew! What a relief. I thought I'd lost a twenty.

LOL

Sounds like a bit of an overreaction to me. Maybe somebody thought it was anthrax? On a dollar bill? Whatever.

I think I'll head over there after the excitement dies down and drop an alligator clip on the floor...

That's weird...my cocaine had traces of a dollar bill in it!

Times were much different here in South Florida during the "Miami Vice" days. Aside from speedboat owners getting shot and sportscar dealerships arriving then disappearing overnight, one could get high by merely sniffing a $50 or $100 dollar bill.

Come to think of it, I haven't seen either form of currency since the eighties, either.

Hmm, so they were huddled around that bill for two hours? Must've been some good stuff.

That's what I was thinking....cheap bastards using a $1 dollar bill.

That's true, the number is lower but it's true.

I stopped carrying paper money when I found out that a lot of that money is put in a baggie and is shoved up someone's ass or vagina or BOTH.
