Drugs, gold tooth cover discovered in Stanfield

Thursday, October 26, 2006 — An investigation is underway after K-9 units discovered a book bag filled with drugs in a wooded area off Rock Hole Road near Stanfield.

Inside were marijuana, crack cocaine, electronic scales and a set of gold tooth covers, also known as a “grill” or “fronts.”

The cocaine’s estimated value is $1,200 and the marijuana’s estimated value is $850.

Although the value of the gold tooth covers is unknown, deputies may attempt DNA identification.

Frick said finding the gold teeth was a first for him.

“We’re so tough on crime we’ll even take a man’s gold teeth,” he said.
