Man Finds Cocaine At Oklahoma Wal-Mart
A man shopping at a Wal-Mart store found a surprise package in the toy section - a small plastic bag containing cocaine.
The man was shopping near bicycles when he noticed an open pack of cigarettes under a shelf, and inside the pack was a small bag containing the white, powdery substance, which was later identified as about one gram of cocaine.
Police spokeswoman Glynda Chu said they were fortunate that the substance was found and turned over to police as the amount could have been lethal for a child.
"Being in the toy department, a child could easily have found it, and children will put anything in their mouths", she said. "We don't really know why someone would leave cocaine, especially in the toy department of such a big department store".
"It's just incomprehensible that anyone would do this".
