Yes, it was a dumb mistake.
Mitch Hotts of the Oakland Press reports that Royal Norton, 51, of Clinton Township, was arrested Saturday afternoon after he made a bond payment for a friend at the Clinton Township Police station that happened to have a packet of cocaine mixed with the bills.
Yes, a very dumb move.
Norton was paying bond at the police station for a friend who had been arrested for drunken driving. The coke was mixed between some $100 bills.
The Oakland Press reports Norton was charged with cocaine possession and released Sunday after paying $750 or 10 percent of his $7,500 bond.
“It’s like something you’d see on that ‘America’s Dumbest Criminals’ TV show,” said police Lt. Curt Randall, according to the Oakland Press.
