"Ecstasy" bust, They got released and got their stash

http://www.goupstate.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060217/NEWS/602170378&SearchID=73235926750983 (You have to sign up to see it all I think) 'Ecstasy' pills seized by deputies are fake
JESSICA L. De VAULT, Staff Writer Published February 17, 2006
What deputies thought to be the largest load of club drugs seized locally, turned out to be a large stash of fake ecstasy pills.
Spartanburg County deputies announced Feb. 7 that Gavin Fitzgerald Mcaulay of Atlanta and Walter David Smith of Covington, Ga., were trafficking 10,763 ecstasy pills on I-85 heading toward Atlanta.
On Thursday, authorities announced that all the trafficking charges against the men had been dropped. Mcaulay still has a possession of marijuana charge against him.
Deputies had stopped Smith and Mcaulay for a traffic violation and later asked to search their 2005 Chrysler Sebring. Inside the vehicle, deputies found several bags of what appeared to be ecstasy tablets with smiley faces and sunflowers stamped on them -- the street value of which was initially estimated at $80,000 to $100,000. Recent field tests, however, determined the tablets were not ecstasy.
The tests indicated the presence of MDMA -- an active ingredient in ecstasy -- but the rest of the tablets' composition consisted of over-the-counter medications.
Sheriff Chuck Wright said he believes the two men did not know the pills were fake.
"If they did (know) they would have been protesting," Wright said of the arrest.
The Sheriff's Office was unable to prove the suspects intended to sell the faux ecstasy and dropped the drug trafficking charges.
"It is not against the law to possess a fake ecstasy pill," Wright said. "It is against the law to sell it as an ecstasy pill, though. Had they tried to sell it to one our undercover operators, it would have been different."

This is what confuses me though....

It says that there is MDMA in them, but it also had other OTC products so they got off?

"The tests indicated the presence of MDMA -- an active ingredient in ecstasy" So the pills had MDMA, but also had perhaps DXM, pseudo/ephedrine, caffeine, guaifenesin or some such thing, and still they ended up getting released...WTF these cops are TRIPPING! oh well, good for these guys!

I thought it was illegal to possess fake drugs? And having 10,000 tablets isn't enough to say they were going to sell them? I agree with stonerguy too.

If somebody can find another article that is written better it would be much appreciated. This article is either written like shit or the cops are just plain dumb, I have a feeling it is a combination of both.

1)I just looked into look alike drugs, and it is legal in South Carolina. You can only get in trouble if you are in school (k-12 and college)
2) A good lawyer could always pull off "They were just selling OTC products not ecstasy" so their for not illigal.

This is a really fucked up case. Were there just trace amounts of MDMA, and the most liberal police in the country? Or is it, more likely, a typo?
So, shitty DXM pills I assume?

11,000 pills would cost roughly 8 grand, not 80

Does having a hookup like that give you a sudden urge to throw them in your trunk, hit the highway and break every fucking traffic law possible? That's what I'm beginning to conclude with all the stories being posted in this forum.

Well, pricks or not, you can't argue that it's "good for these guys"
The good news is, that if these fuckers still hit the streets (they will), we have NAMES.
