DOTHAN, Ala. — A Dothan man faces a felony drug charge after police found Smarties candies suspected to be laced with a compound similar to LSD in his car on Friday, August 28th.
Dothan police were performing a routine traffic stop Friday evening when they found the drugs in the vehicle driven by Zachary McMurphy Cobb. The drugs were discovered in a bubble wrapped package containing multiple rolls of Smarties candies. Police believe these candies are laced with 25C-NBOMe, a synthetic chemical compound similar to LSD.
The findings at the traffic stop led to Dothan police obtaining a search warrant for Cobb’s residence on East Saunders Road. At his home, police found a handgun, marijuana and multiple unknown powders, suspected to be MDMA, also known as ecstasy or Molly.
Cobb was arrested and charged with felony unlawful possession of a controlled substance. Additional criminal charges are pending in the ongoing investigation.
