Man attempts to pay water bill with cocaine

[King Ghidorah]

Police in Deltona, Fla., are trying to sniff out the identity of a man who allegedly attempted to pay his water bill with cocaine.

The unidentified man walked into the water department office on Monday and handed a clerk an envelope that contained not a check, but a small amount of white powder.

Officials evacuated employees so hazmat teams from the sheriff's office and two separate fire departments could analyze the powder, the Beacon News Online reported.

The powder was later determined to be cocaine, Gary Davidson, a spokesman for the Volusia County Sheriff’s Dept., told the Dayton Beach News-Journal.

Surveillance cameras show the suspect is a man wearing a T-shirt and shorts who rode away on a bicycle.

“The clerk (at the counter) said she had never seen the man before,” Sheriff’s spokesman Brandon Haught, told the News-Journal. “He didn’t say anything to her, he just handed her the envelope and walked out.”

The investigation is ongoing, according to NBCMiami.com.

Well this guy has to be a gigantic f***wit to think that walking into a office and anonymously giving an employee a envelope with a kind of white powder that could look like anything would be a good way to pay his water bill.

yeah, he could have at least left a note with it that said "btw this is cocaine"

at least then he would have stood a fair chance

Oh, I thought the dude was in a restaurant when I first read the title. I was about to say, what f***ing restaurant charges for water?

I don't think he was trying to pay his water bill. He would have left some information if that were the case. Dud was obviously just f***ing around.

I don't understand how you grow up thinking that you can just use drugs to pay your bills...I mean, what? Surely no one is brought up to think that it's normal. Also why did the thought not occur to him to just sell the cocaine to someone who would actually want it and then using that money to pay the bill?

I...I don't understand!

Florida, of course. The cesspool of Planet Earth.

"Damn, that guy used a lot of water last month!"

I might've taken it, but then, I legit had a problem with stuff as a young man.

Still, how do you do that? He says you paid on a computer when you didn't and they see the discrepancy and can trace it directly back to you and you get fired.

Seems like a very short-sighted pay off. It would've flown higher *bu-dum-chi* in ages prior.

Now the internet can tell you the last time you ate spaghetti, let alone this.
