Dallas Police Mistakenly Send 123 Bags of Illegal Drugs to Store
Not exactly what they mean by "over the counter."
Dallas Police Mistakenly Send 123 Bags of Illegal Drugs to Store
At the Dallas CityStore, customers can find affordable furniture, bikes, electronics and other merchandise from the police property room and other city departments.
But a city employee was recently surprised to stumble upon a different product: 123 bags of illegal drugs mistakenly shipped over in a file cabinet by the Dallas Police Department Property Unit.
"It was a terrible oversight," said Sgt. Warren Mitchell, a department spokesman. "We're going to see where we went wrong and try to fix that problem."
The discovery last week came before the cabinet was moved from a back storage room of the store at 3131 Irving Blvd. Police say the public never came in contact with the heroin, cocaine, marijuana and methamphetamine.

I read your tweet about this Stephen, and I was shocked. What an amazing story. It's scary that they cops can't even take care of a filing cabinet without incident.
The Dallas police have also suffered a rash of break-ins lately. About six unmarked police cars were broken into a few months back, and the thieves took weapons and body armor. I'm sure Dallas residents feel much safer with this crack squad to protect them.
