Molino Man Says He Bought Fake Drugs, But He’s Facing Real Charges
June 20, 2015
A Molino man who told police he thought he was buying fake drugs at the corner store is facing real felony drug charges after a traffic stop in Pensacola.
According to Pensacola Police, 19-year old Edward Hamid Lewis was pulled over after making an improper turn at 9th Avenue and Texar Drive. After an officer smelled the odor of marijuana, a K-9 search found marijuana, several grams of a white powdery substance that tested positive for cocaine, prescription hydrocodone pills and various drug paraphernalia.
According to an arrest report, Lewis told the officer that was “white stuff” in the car that he had just purchased “from a guy”, but he believed it was fake drugs. Lewis told police that an unknown male sold him all the narcotics at a corner store.
Lewis was charged with cocaine possession, possession of a controlled substance without a prescription, possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. He was released from the Escambia County Jail on a $6,000 bond.

He was taken advantage of? By who the drug dealer for selling him the real stuff? Just another example of it’s always someone else’s fault.
Ha ha ha yea,,what Sage 2 said LOL
He was working on his GED and had always been a good young man according to sources. He was a trusting person and was taken advantage of.
Very funny , BT.
I wonder how much education can help this poor child. Could he make a good bank teller? Physician? Nurse? Policeman? Firefighter? Engineer? Pharmacist? Heavy equipment operator? Would you place your loved ones his care? Where is his future?
I hate it when you try to buy fake drugs and someone slips you real drugs instead.
Thats the best one ive ever heard,I gave him real money for fake drugs.Its impossible to fix stupid.
But Officer , I always buy the fake stuff .I never buy real drugs. Honest ! ! !
