ROCHELLE — Do drug dealers issue gift cards if their buyers aren’t satisfied with the product? Apparently a Rochelle woman thought so when she called the local police to help “get her money back” after she was unhappy with the crack cocaine she had bought Thursday night. Juanita Marie Jones, 53, of 957 Gordon St. called Rochelle Police late Thursday night after she purchased what she thought was a $20 piece of crack cocaine, she said. She told officers she broke the rock into three pieces and smoked one, only to discover the rock was “fake.” She told Officer Joel Quinn and Deputy John Shedd of the Wilcox County Sheriff’s Office that she wanted them to get her money back. Jones took the officers into her kitchen and showed them the alleged “fake” rock at which time they arrested her on charges of possession of cocaine. She was taken to the Rochelle Police Department where she is awaiting a bond hearing.

So many interesting ways to scream out for help!

If it was fake, how could she have been possessing cocaine?

[DaGman]

So if it’s not crack, is there a crime?

Regardless, some people are beyond stupid.

[SteveMcKing]

Her life is probably so wasted she doesn’t mind an arrest if it gets the phony dealer in trouble.

Although she is totally ineligible, I nominate Juanita for a honorary Darwin Award.

How can she be booked on possession when the coke was fake?

[FormerACLUmember]

Obviously part of the core democrat party voter base.

Do you know what they do to snitches?

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

she THOUGHT it was fake....obviously, it wasn’t!

[LilAngel]

If they charged her with possession of cocaine, then I guess it was real. In which case, they should also charge her with filing a false police report. Her drug dealer should step forward to sue her for slander and defamation of character.

[MPJackal]

Well, how about drug residue on her crack pipe for starters?

[Publius]

If the crack ain't right,
You can't indict.

[Emmett McCarthy]

And probably could prevail except this idiot gal is what’s called “judgement-proof” - nothing to take.

[Conservative4Ever]

Saddle up for the ride to Stupidville.

[Principled]

That’s why they call it DOPE.

[Frwy]

ROFLMAO. There was a Cops episode a few years ago that had a woman complaining to the police that the woman she gave her money to for cocaine kept the money and produced no dope. Proof positive that stuff fries your wee little mind.

[ibbryn]

Calling the cops cuz you bought fake dope? What an idiot.

This is a civil matter.

The crack dealers of today have no sense of honor anymore.
