FLINT, Mich. - Authorities say a man accused of stealing a car then reporting it stolen remains in custody after telling Flint police he was robbed at gunpoint while trying to buy crack cocaine with a credit card.

The Flint Journal says the man reported Thursday night that a 2003 Chevy Malibu had been stolen. Police reports indicated the vehicle was previously stolen out of Lapeer, about 50 miles north-northwest of Detroit.

The suspect is being lodged at the Genesee County Jail.

I am way behind the times. So now illegal drug dealers take credit cards? I thought it was a strictly cash business.

Why am I not surprised it was Detroit?

Detroit is any place in MI east of Lowell.

Was working in a restaurant in Colorado in 1975 and someone left their cocaine in the restroom, and they had it announced on the speaker system. Really funny. “Anyone seeing a bag of cocaine in the women’s washroom and picking it up, please report to the front desk.”
