CONFISCATED DRUG DEALER'S CAR PROMOTES D.A.R.E PROGRAM

ORMOND BEACH -- A glitzy paint job and community contributions helped transform a drug dealer's car into a teaching tool.

The makeover outfitted a 2005 Nissan Altima -- confiscated last year during a police drug bust -- with lights, sirens, police radio and all the needs of Drug Abuse Resistance Education officers.

The car, now in use by Crime Prevention officers Lloyd Cornelius and Gregory Stokes, will help keep students' attention during programs that teach school children to avoid drugs, gangs and violence.
