Deputies mistake kitty litter for meth, guy spends 3 days in jail

(KETK) A Houston man has been cleared of a drug charge after authorities realized he'd been arrested for possession of kitty litter.
"They thought they had the biggest bust in Harris County," Ross LeBeau said. "This was the bust of the year for them."
A traffic stop in early December led to the discovery of almost half a pound of what deputies believed to be methamphetamine.
The deputies arrested LeBeau and sent out a press release, including a mug shot, describing the bust.
According to authorities, the arrest was due to deputies finding a sock filled with what they believed to be methamphetamine. It was actually kitty litter that LeBeau kept in his car to reduce fog in his windows.
After the arrest, LeBeau was fingerprinted and booked into a jail where he spent three days before being released.
The problem came after two field tests, performed by deputies, came back positive for meth.

Does this work? I guess it is supposed to absorb moisture.

This is becoming an everyday event.

Do you realize how many cops had to make mistakes in order for this guy to sit in the can for three days?
Cops being human and making honest mistakes is not the problem. Stop pretending like this was a mistake.

Don't they have a testing kit onsite to avoid such mistakes?

Wonder what the field tests were?

Of course, but that's not the point. It's not likely these guys actually thought the kitty litter was a meth. It's more likely that the kitty litter is just a red herring.

I'm sure they gave it the ol' Guy Fieri before filing charges.

I guess they need a feline unit in addition to a K-9 one.
The dogs can sniff for drugs and then they can see if the cat wants to take a shite in it before making an arrest.

The field testing procedures used by law enforcement to test for drugs are not reliable. This man was defamed and wrongfully incarcerated because of these grossly negligent procedures. He finna get paid.
