Ohio man sent meth through bank’s drive-thru air tube: Police
WOODSFIELD, Ohio (WTVG) – An Ohio man accidentally sent methamphetamine through a bank’s drive-thru air tube system, authorities said.
Investigators said Jason Smith, 46, unknowingly sent the drugs in a baggie through the air tube during a transaction on Dec. 3.
Ohio Department of Natural Resource Officers helped track him down after he left the bank, according to the sheriff’s office in Monroe County, Ohio. Deputies said they found additional suspected drugs and drug-related items in his truck.
Smith was arrested and transported to the Monroe County, Ohio jail.
“Illegal drugs don’t belong in bank drive-thrus — but they can be turned in at the Sheriff’s Office. No charges, no handcuffs, just help,“ Monroe County Sheriff Derek Norman said. ”We’d much rather safely take them off the street than see another unexpected ‘deposit.’”
