The spectrum of coke rage runs wide. It can go from harmless rolling of the eyes and a sigh to unnecessary shouting to Lindsay Lohan. For some, it goes much further.
Take, for example, tenacious Juanita Marie Jones, 53, of Rochelle, GA. After receiving fake cocaine -- and, oh Jesus, the frenzy of mixed emotions one feels after buying bunk junk -- she went to the police in an effort to get her money back.
It seems that she wanted Wilcox County officers to arrest the independent retailers who sold her the stuff. Naturally, Jones was the one who got arrested on the spot...after inviting police officers over to her pad to inspect the counterfeit party favor.
Better luck next time, Juanita.

Funny story although I am puzzled as to what connection this has with San Francisco.
What does this have to do with SF????
People in SF enjoy amusing stories about moronic drug addicts. Duh.
This seems to happen all the time -- probably the 5th story in 5 years on this same topic.
Isn't it about time that Kamala Harris and Heather Fong crack down on these scam artists? Look at all the poor junkies who are getting ripped off and no one to protect them. Can't Chris Daly do something? Maybe some new City legislation entitled the San Francisco Fair Trade Cocaine Act?
When Hunter S. Thompson ran for Sheriff of Aspen County back in 1970 on the Freak Party ticket, part of his platform included instituting stockades for dishonest drug dealers.
More of hims platform from Wikipedia:
"decriminalization of drugs (for personal use only, not trafficking, as he disapproved of profiteering), tearing up the streets and turning them into grassy pedestrian malls, banning any building so tall as to obscure the view of the mountains, and renaming Aspen, Colorado, "Fat City." (to reduce the marketing appeal of the name "Aspen.") Thompson, having shaved his head, referred to his opponent as "my long-haired opponent", as the incumbent Republican had a crew cut."
Hunter almost won.
Thanks for the blow-by-blow account!
Maybe this will get SFist more hits?
Any other amusing news stories to be sniffed out? Because all of the depressing stories were starting to get up my nose.
Okay. I promise to stop.
We promise not to flake on these stories anymore, and will bump them up to the top of the line when we do.
Eh. Sorry. You did it better. Sniff.
waaaait a second, if the blow is fake, how will the possession charges hold up in court?
Intent to purchase?
