BREAKING NEWS – Homestead, Florida – A Florida man arrested on drug charges is facing additional charges for what he did in the backseat of a patrol car. The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release that 37-year-old Melvin Stubbs of Homestead was originally arrested and charged with cocaine trafficking and resisting arrest after he was found with more than 40 grams of cocaine during a traffic stop. An officer then noticed that a “large piece” of the back seat of the patrol car had been “chewed off and/or eaten,” causing at least $1,000 in damage, the sheriff’s office said. The officer rejected his explanation for consuming a portion of the car, when Stubbs alleged that he was on a “vehicular diet”, and he wanted to wash down what he had eating with a can of motor oil.
