Grandma’s ashes mistaken for poor quality cocaine

During the stop, troopers also found powder in a small zip-top sandwich bag, tucked inside a purple and gold-trimmed Crown Royal whiskey bag, inside the vehicle’s center console.

Investigators initially believed the substance to be “poor quality cocaine or methamphetamine.” That was not the case.

“After scrutinizing the powdery substance, questioning the two vehicle occupants and checking with the vehicle owner,” who was not in the car, “it turned out that the small Baggie contained the cremated ashes of the vehicle owner’s grandmother.”
