We have all been there. That terrible moment when you realize that you just handed over your hard-earned money to some retailer and received a piece of junk in return. It is absolutely infuriating, and for most of us, the natural reaction is to return to the store and demand our money back.
So, it's not surprising that when a 47-year-old Missouri woman realized that her crack dealer had given her sugar instead of the quality crack cocaine she had ordered, she wanted a refund. Unfortunately, rather than just going back to the "retailer" where she made her purchase, she decided to get some help from the local police.
Suzanne Basham dialed 911 and requested that Springfield, Missouri's police department send someone to her crack dealer's home to get her $40 back and arrest the man who had ripped her off. Police did go to the man's home, but they left without taking any action when he denied any involvement. Suzanne, on the other hand, did not escape so easily. When they arrived at the home of the woman who had summoned them, police discovered her still holding her crack pipe and gave her a ticket for possession of drug paraphernalia.
Given Ms. Basham's actions, perhaps the reason police did not arrest the man she accused of cheating her was that there was simply too much evidence that she had in fact received the real stuff, not sugar as she had claimed.
