(Yes, that state) man claims shoes with drugs in them belonged to brother

[sprite75]

An attempt to throw his brother under the bus didn't go according to plan.

Thomas, the patrolman discovered, was driving on a suspended license. Worse, "an odor of marijuana was also coming from the vehicle as I spoke with him," reported Deputy Guy Habercom.

After directing Thomas to exit the auto, Habercom conducted a search of the suspect that yielded "two baggies of cocaine." The drugs, which weighed a combined 8.7 grams, were found in Thomas's right shoe.

Upon being read his rights, Thomas disavowed ownership of the cocaine and claimed that he had "put his brother's shoes on."

Despite that valiant attempt to throw his sibling under the bus, Thomas was collared on a felony narcotics possession charge. He was released from jail today after posting $2000 bond, according to court records.

So the shoes were laced with drugs?
