Ga southern Qb tells po-po cocaine was bird poop

not much to add to this....
College QB Tried Telling Police Cocaine Was Just Bird Poop John Duffley, August 2, 2019 5:58 pm
College QB Tried Telling Police Cocaine Was Just Bird Poop AP Photo/Richard Shiro Most casual football fans have probably never seen a Georgia Southern Eagles football game. If you have, though, you know the Eagles were one of the best FCS-level football teams for nearly three decades, winning six national championships between 1985 and 2000, as well as 10 Southern Conference titles, before joining major college football and the Sun Belt Conference in 2014.
Last year, Georgia Southern head coach Chad Lunsford guided the program to a 10-3 season and Camellia Bowl win in his first full year. The Eagles are no slouch, either — this offense ranked No. 7 in the nation running the football (266.2 yards per game) and led all of college football with only five turnovers all season. Credit for that efficiency goes to Lunsford, but it was quarterback Shai Werts who was the star of the show.
But despite his rising status as a two-time Sun Belt Conference Honorable Mention, Werts finds himself suspended from football activities after being arrested and charged with misdemeanor possession of cocaine.
The story of Werts’ arrest, though, sounds like a scene straight out of Super Troopers.
According to a Saluda County Sheriff’s Office police report obtained by The George-Anne, officers attempted to stop Werts for a speeding violation in South Carolina. But before Werts pulled over, he called 911 and told them “he was not pulling over until he had reached further into town with lights as it was unsafe.” When police caught up with him, a white residue was noticed on the hood of his car.
The officer tested the “white powder substance” with two cocaine kits, both of which tested positive for the Big C.
Werts apparently then told police the cocaine was just bird poop and denied knowing where it came from. The police report states that the powder looked like it was thrown onto the hood of the car, which was then “attempted to be washed off by the windshield wipers and wiper fluid.”
Oops.

I bet it is bird poo. For 1 it's on the outside of his car as bird poo would be, and 2 Those test they use are useless. a recent study showed that like over 75% show false positive. And honestly its ruining alot of innocent people's lives all over the country because if you cant afford an attorney to fight back then you gotta lay down and take it.

I wonder if the police intend to arrest the birds.
If those arrested for drugs can't afford an attorney, how can they afford the cost of the drugs?

onto your windshield while driving at highway speed? Why wouldn't you just throw it out the window? Something seems wrong...

It was a false positive, the only charge he is facing is speeding. Saluda county is taking alot of heat, and so should all other police agencies that continue to use these flawed test.

It WAS bird poop and not cocaine! Charge dismissed against GA southern Qb

Hidden article in Post & Courier this morning. Greenwood attorney, Townes Jones IV (former solicitor), represented him. I bet justice didn’t come cheap!
Going to clean my car hood now - pine resin probably field tests positive for heroin!

Exactly! Frustrating how it happens and people just "assume"! Rush to judge b/c "some people don't understand law enforcement are human and like anybody else are subject to the human condition of not being perfect"! Glad it worked out for him, he needs to stop speeding, go ball out!

So while driving away from police... He tried to "throw" a powdery substance forward into the wind, onto his hood and then wash it off with his, windshield wipers?
Yeah, no way in hell should anyway be buying that. Sounds like cops in Saludu just suck.

You need to change this headline to "Idiot cop thinks bird poop is cocaine"
