Coke Dealer's Gas Surcharge - September 18, 2008 Quote:
Coke Dealer's Gas Surcharge
Cops: Indiana man passed along rising fuel costs to drug customers
SEPTEMBER 18--Spiraling gas prices led an Indiana drug dealer to levy a fuel oil surcharge on customers purchasing cocaine, according to investigators. Anthony Salinas, 18, tacked on the gasoline surcharge when he sold a confidential police source coke on two occasions in June. While arranging one buy, Salinas told the source that a quarter-ounce of cocaine would cost $240--$215 for the drug itself and "$25.00 for gas money to deliver the cocaine," according to the court affidavit, a copy of which you'll find below. Salinas, a Hammond resident, was named last week in a two-count felony information charging him with "dealing in cocaine."
| That's right, drug dealers are passing on the cost of gas to addicts. This had me rolling with laughter this morning.
