I-93 traffic stop nets pot, pound of mushrooms; troopers arrest 2 February 23, 2006 - lowellsun.com
MEDFORD -- A clever can of oil with a hidden chamber in its bottom was not enough to save a Billerica man and a Burlington woman Tuesday night when a state trooper allegedly found about a pound of psychedelic mushrooms in their car.
Trooper Kara England said the mushrooms were stored in 16 separate sandwich bags, though she would not say how they were located or where in the car they were stored.
She said the mushrooms were found by Trooper Brian Sweet after he stopped a 1997 Cadillac Deville driven by Joseph C. Bottoni, 22, of 24 Canterbury St., Billerica, on Interstate 93 south in Medford late Tuesday night.
Bottoni was stopped for speeding and Sweet discovered the mushrooms, as well as a small bag of marijuana, during the traffic stop, England said. Sweet also found a small oil can with a concealment chamber in the bottom of it, police said.
Bottoni was charged with possession of a class C substance (mushrooms) with intent to distribute, possession of marijuana and speeding, police said.
A passenger in the car, Maria L. Andrews, 22, of 11 Church Lane, Burlington, was also charged with possession of a class C substance (mushrooms) with intent to distribute and failure to wear a seat belt.
They both face up to five years in prison if convicted.
Bottoni and Andrews were scheduled to be arraigned yesterday in Somerville District Court, but a spokesman for District Attorney Martha Coakley could find no records of that proceeding.

Why do people insist on speeding / driving not-up-to-code vehicles when smuggling drugs? 
the mind boggles

Cops lie.
I was pulled over by the South Dakota state highway patrol I-70 5 miles inside the border for 'weaving in my lane'. Drug dog hit on the car with a signal unknown to me. When I said something about it I was threatened with a arrest for interfering with a police matter. Stupid cop couldn't find the dope because it was in my pocket and he never checked me for weapons.
I have heard of other people with CA, OR, WA plates being harassed there in similar ways. 3MPH over and shit. Child seat safety checks on children.
Beware. Expect nothing less from the state that banned abortion.

people always do dumb things while attempting to smuggle drugs. dumb asses.
-------------------- At times I get consumed by my everyday life and will leave the Shroomery. Yet, every time drugs come falling into my life for fun.....I always think about the Shroomery and then I'm back!
