That's a
new oneWhen Louisiana cops yesterday found a “clear crystal like substance” inside a plastic Walmart bag in his pocket, John Combs did not, like some suspects, claim it was a laxative or sugar and corn starch to use in baking a cake.
No, the 47-year-old Combs explained to police that the substance was “salt which he had to treat an in-grown toenail.”
Turns out it was methamphetamine, according to a probable cause affidavit.
While home remedies for an ingrown toenail can include soaking the foot in a warm Epsom salt bath, the cop who examined Combs’s purported salt “identified the substance as methamphetamine.”
