With your hands on the mace.
This is how the state police qualified their discovery when during a traffic stop they discovered that a man driving in upstate New York had two kilograms of cocaine hidden inside two boxes of infant cereal.
New York State Police said officers pulled over a car just before 2 a.m. Saturday on I-90 in the city of Verona in Oneida County for a traffic violation. While police were talking to the driver, Jahn Rents of Worcester, Massachusetts, searched the vehicle and found two open boxes of Lucky Charms.
But what was inside those cereal boxes was not the “magically” delicious marshmallow, but something highly illegal. Officers discovered about 4.5 pounds (2 kilos) of cocaine, state police said.
Rentas, 23, was arrested and charged with possession in the first degree of a controlled substance. Information from the Revenue attorney was not immediately available.
