She No Lie
George Funti was getting dressed after working out one day when a bottle of nitroglycerin pills fell out of his clothes. He didn't see them, but a gym employee did and turned them over to an Okaloosa County, Florida, sheriff's deputy. A field test on the pills showed they were cocaine. Deputies seized the pills, sent them off to a crime lab, and issued a warrant for Funti's arrest. A few days later, the lab sent back a report stating that they were heart medicine, but the department never rescinded the warrant. Deputies picked Funti up at his home in Walton County and later transferred him to Okaloosa. He spent a total of three days in jail before the charges against him were dismissed.
