WOMAN TELLS DEPUTY ABOUT 'BAD CRACK'

HAWTHORNE -- A North Carolina woman was arrested after complaining to 
a Putnam County sheriff's deputy that the crack cocaine she had just 
purchased wasn't very good, authorities said.

Eloise D. Reaves, 50, approached the deputy at a convenience store 
Friday, telling him that another man had sold her "bad crack" that 
contained wax and cocaine.

She pulled a suspected crack rock out of her mouth and placed it on 
the deputy's car for inspection, the Palatka Daily News reported.

The deputy told Reaves that she would be arrested if the crack tested 
positive for cocaine.

She was charged with possession of cocaine and posted bail.
