Man Stole Opioids Only To Find Out They Were Laxatives

From the Florida files, comes the tale of 56 year old Peter Hans Emery. He broke into a home and stole pills from medicine cabinet. Security cameras caught him breaking into the stash and grabbing a bottle labeled "Hydrocodone-Acetaminopehn", a very addictive pain medication. The pills were in fact "Equate Gentle Laxative". You could say he got a bums rush when he was arrested and booked with probation violation and felony charges. On the bright side, the laxative promises "gentle, dependable overnight relief" so he has that going for him. If you want to see the mug shot of the man who got the crappy deal, click here.
