Meth makes people do crazy things. Apparently in Florida, it can take you to a level once thought to be unattainable.
According to CBS Miami, the former purchasing director for the city of Hialeah was arrested in downtown Fort Lauderdale for using methamphetamine. While the arrest took place in December of last year, details of the police report were first made public this week.
The report states that Carlos López was pulled over by police after accelerating his 2008 Hyundai to 50 MPH in a 25 MPH zone. The officer noticed López was displaying symptoms consistent with being under the influence of meth, so he called in a canine unit.
After finding a small metal container of the drug, authorities noticed López had his pants unbuttoned and asked him if he was hiding something in there (eh-hem, that’s what she said). While it took some convincing, López finally admitted that he had indeed shoved a meth pipe up his ass. In fact, it was so far up his ass that he had to be taken to a hospital to get it removed.
Even crazier than that, López didn’t lose his job over the incident, as he was merely transferred to a leadership position in Public Works several weeks later.
Are we the only ones who find this to be beyond shocking? I mean, you are the purchasing director for a city of almost 230,000 people, and you’re driving around town in a 2008 Hyundai?
Then again, it appears that a good portion of his salary was being used to pay for other things.
