I decided to check in with Florida Man this morning, and it seems he's not doing too well.
A Spring Hill man is accused of calling 911 to have the methamphetamine he recently purchased from a man he met at an area bar tested because he believed it was really bath salts.
According to the Hernando County Sheriff's Office, Thomas Eugene Colucci made the emergency call around 7 p.m. on Thursday.
Deputies say Colucci told them that he is an experienced drug user who's used methamphetamine in the past and knew what it should feel like. When it didn't produce the expected sensation, he decided to call authorities. Colucci then produced two small baggies, each containing a white crystal-like substance, and handed them over to the deputy.
Yes, this man apparently didn't think he was gonna be arrested for abusing the emergency system with a question about his drugs, or for literally handing said drugs over to a police officer.
What a wild time to be alive.
Colucci told deputies he wanted his methamphetamine tested because he did not want other people to purchase "fake" methamphetamine from the person who sold it to him. He wanted deputies to "put the person in trouble" for selling dangerous drugs. However, he was unable to provide a name or any contact info for this individual.
So basically, if this dude really was trying to get his dealer arrested, he completely failed.
Even more ironically, the meth was real.
As requested, a deputy performed a field test on a sample of the white crystal-like substance from each of the baggies and both baggies tested positive for methamphetamine, according to HCSO.
The dude after it tested positive:
Literally none of you will be surprised to learn that Colucci is now in jail!
