A few pounds of baking soda landed Malcolm Williams in hot water. Police say he sold the household product as cocaine!

The 17,000 dollar deal went down in West Mobile on Wednesday.

Undercover agents bought 2 kilos of what they were told was cocaine. Mobile Police tell us that Williams claimed the coke was being brought in from Atlanta.

Shortly after being arrested, Williams reportedly admitted to police that he faked the drug deal for the money!

Officer John Young with the Mobile Police Department says since he presented it as the real deal... he still gets charged with trafficking! "If you sell M&Ms as tablets to get high, if you sell baking soda as if it's cocaine or if you sell oregano as if it's marijuana, those charges are the same. You're presenting that substance as the illegal narcotic."

Cocaine trafficking carries a penalty of up to 99 years in prison!

Now this story you got to love it the cops arrested this man for pretending to be a drug dealer, who is going to arrest the cops for pretending to be a cops how else do cops supplement there income we all know someone who’s been a cop and they all say the same thing. Come on now that’s what really made the cops mad there’s no profit in trying to sell baking soda and no glory in offering 17,000.00 dollars for it either. Hahahahahahah

I agree this guy should be punished to some degree, but, if those undercover cops can’t tell the difference between cocaine and baking soda then they are just making themselves look silly. Especially if they try to prosecute this guy for cocaine trafficking. I think this guy was very lucky he got caught like he did, if he had been selling to some drug dealer we would probably be reading about a body found somewhere.
