A 22-year-old San Rafael man thought that he could claim he was snorting Ajax and get off the hook after cops found him on the street in Sausalito with a bunch of blue powder all over his face. Turns out he was crushing up and snorting some blue oxycontin tablets, 'cause that's how he rolls.
Needless to say Mr. Benjamin Courtney was arrested Tuesday night on suspicion of possession of a controlled substance and drug paraphernalia, and he's being held in Marin County jail on $5,000 bail. He was already on probation for a drug offense, and cops also found stuff in his backpack like syringes, and other paraphernalia.
Had he been up on Turk Street, would anyone even have paid him any mind?
