Dog food and aspirin may not be controlled substances, but
one Plymouth woman's alleged attempt to pass them off as such have landed her
behind bars.
Megan M. Meyer, 22, was charged with two counts of
imitation of a controlled substance and one felony bail jumping count. With
enhancers attached for repeat behavior, she could face a maximum of 12 years in
prison.
According to the criminal complaint:
The Sheboygan County MEG unit set up a buy with Meyer
through a confidential informant on Nov. 18. The informant told officers that
Meyer had contacted the informant offering to sell a pill of Percocet for $35.
After arranging the buy, Meyer increased the price of the pill to $50 and also
offered to sell him some "boy," which is slang for heroin.
When the informant made contact with Meyer, she said that
the heroin was a "dose and a half" and that she had to get the items
out of her apartment before her probation officer arrived in 15 minutes. The
transaction was made and the items were turned over to police. However, they
were unable to identify the drugs as Percocet or heroin.
When Meyer was picked up on a probation hold and other
charges on Dec. 15, investigators interviewed her about the buy. Meyer said she
sold the informant fake drugs -- namely dog food crushed up to look like heroin
and aspirin in place of Percocet. She did so, she said, because the informant
had stolen a car seat from her and Meyer wanted to get back at that person.
