KINGS MOUNTAIN, N.C. -- A 96-year-old woman has been arrested on drug charges after sheriff's deputies say they found crack cocaine in her wheelchair. The North Carolina woman says she doesn't know how seven rocks of crack ended up in her wheelchair when sheriff's deputies raided her house. She's charged with possessing crack cocaine with intent to sell and deliver and possessing a crack pipe. A search warrant affidavit says it's the third time deputies have seized cocaine at the woman's home, which she shares with a son. The affidavit says an informant told deputies that she hid crack in her prosthetic leg during a previous search. The woman was released from jail on condition that she appear in court March 30.

That ol' lady still sure knows how to kick it... I wonder how the cops found out about her?

I wonder how the cops found out about her?

They probably got a hint when they saw a 96 year old woman in a wheel chair surrounded by all the neighborhood junkies... that scenario doesn't seem suspicious or odd at all........

Dont you think the cops time would be better spend arresting people who deal to 96 years olds rather than near-Centurions?

I wonder how many times she has been busted. She has been around long enough to have a rap sheet as long as my arm. :)

Or perhaps the son was using the 96 year old lady to stash his stuff.

I mean, would you think they'd be checking a 96 year old woman?

Of course, the guy would have to be stupid to do this anyway, because there are a million ways to get caught, without someone having to be suspicious, but we're not talking about a rocket scientist here.

This is a crack-head afterall.

no doubt... they usually pick on the meekest target possible... who wants to spend all their energy chasing the real criminals when they can arrest old women with ease.

Around here they specialize in traffic tickets. It always takes at least 2 car loads of cops to write a ticket. If you have a crime related call, they may send 1 cop and only then if you raise hell. :(

That's why I carry a Glock. :bigsmile:
