WHEELING -- Police say that a Warwood man who was put in handcuffs during a drug bust was freed after they found out that what they had initially believed to be cocaine was simply a pile of snow left over from the winter storms."We kicked in the door, shot some bullets around just to be sure and detained the suspect," said officer George Wilson. "He had a lot of suspicious white powder around his home that was causing concerns for some of his neighbors."
Wilson says that after he and his fellow officers smelled the pile of white powder, they discovered that it was not cocaine after all.
"I went numb immediately after I smelled it," said Wilson. "So I could tell it was extremely cold. Then I just had the best sensation wash over me. I guess it's just relief that it wasn't cocaine. I feel like I could fly right now."
Other officers reported feeling the same.
"You know, this is turning out to be the best case I've ever worked," said officer Jon Connington. "I feel like I could take on all the crime in Wheeling right now."
The rest of the interview was cut short, as our reporters could not hear anything over the loud music playing in the man's house as the officers watched cartoons with him.
"We figured we'd just chill with him for a while," officer Wilson said. "It's our way to say sorry."
