Weird Crime News: Trail of White Powder Leads to Suspect, Bleached $5 Bills Reprinted to Look Like $100 Bills and More

Follow the trail of white powder: Walton County Sheriff’s Office deputies, who were serving a warrant in Monroe, found their man by following a trail of white powder to the attic. The man’s girlfriend answered the door and told deputies the suspect wasn’t there, but her face told a different story. Deputies noticed a white, powdery substance all over her face, then a trail of more powder on the ladder leading up to the attic. That’s where the man was found. Deputies also found white powder in a plastic packet and an unmarked pill bottle, which were later identified as schedule II and schedule III narcotics.

Making Benjamins out of Abes: Two men allegedly used  at the Hamilton Mill Walmart near Dacula. The fake bills, which were accepted by a cashier who held them up to the light, were found to be $5 bills that had been bleached and reprinted to look like $100 bills.

He had to go … really: A man who was "stumbling through the parking lot" at a Suwanee-area restaurant, told police he was waiting for his brother to give him a ride. He also had to go. But after police didn’t allow him to go back into the restaurant to use the restroom, he turned toward the restaurant, “took a few steps in that direction and urinated on the curb,” according to the incident report.
