‘Yeah, it’s cocaine.’ Florida man stopped for speeding played dumb then fessed up

A man and woman from Port Richey, Florida, were traveling in an SUV that was said to have been speeding up Interstate 75 near Forsyth.

They were pulled over by a sheriff’s deputy there in the wee hours of Aug. 4.

The couple’s Honda Pilot was allegedly doing 95 mph.

When the deputy stopped it, he caught wind of an “overwhelming smell” of burned marijuana.

The man in the car, who was a passenger, stepped out and the deputy found a small bag of weed and “a small bag of white crack-like substance” in his pocket.

The deputy asked the guy, 28, what it was.

“Man, I don’t even know,” came the reply.

He then apparently thought better of continuing the charade.

“Yeah,” he said, “it’s cocaine.”

He was jailed on drug-possession charges.
