Man, jailed for 3 months, released after "drugs" turn out to be vitamins

keystone-kopsMinnesota cops pulled over Joseph Burrell for driving out of a grocery store parking lot without turning on his headlights.
This led to a search of his car, where police found a bag of powder. The cop's crappy field test kit indicated methamphetamine, and Burrell was arrested.
Prosecutors pressured Burrell to plead guilty, and when he refused, bail was set at $250,000. He couldn't afford it, so he languished in jail while prosecutors took their sweet time retesting the powder using a more accurate method. The powder was vitamins, just as Burrell had explained when he was arrested on November 14.
