Brickbat: Say Your Prayers and Take Your Vitamins

Rebecca Shaw spent five months in a Pasco County, Florida, jail after a field drug test mistakenly said that vitamins in her car were oxycodone. Shaw had run out of gas when a sheriff’s deputy pulled up behind her. The deputy was apparently more interested in searching her car than helping her. It took five months for her husband could raise the money to bail her out and another seven months for the state crime lab to determine that the pills the deputy found were indeed vitamins.
