STOP.
BUT A MAN ENDED
UP IN JAIL... OVER
WHAT POLICE SAY HE
TRIED TO HIDE.
LONDON POLICE
ARRESTED ELBERT
MCFADDEN.
THEY SAY AN
UNUSUAL LOOKING,
MOUNTAIN DEW
BOTTLE IN MC-
FADDEN'S CAR...
CAUGHT THEIR
ATTENTION.
NEW AT SIX... JORDAN
VILINES TELLS US
WHAT POLICE SAY..
WAS INSIDE THAT
BOTTLE.
On Tuesday, London
Police pulled a car over
for swerving along
Highway 80 West. After
finding marijuana on
the driver, the officer
searched the car and
came across a duffle
bag with a Mountain
Dew bottle inside -- a
bottle containing much
more
"This is not something
that you see every
day."
than what meets the
eye.
"It's certainly
something that
could've easily been
overlooked."
When the officer took
a second look, "It had a
different look, a
different feel. It isn't
what you would think it
feel like when you
squeeze a bottle."
One of the first things
that the officer noticed
was the fact that the
bottle is two different
colors. The top of it
looks like it's filled with
water while the bottom
of it looks like it's filled
with Mountain Dew
and that's what
immediately prompted
the officer to suspect
that something about
this bottle was
different.
"When it came apart,
concealed inside the
false compartment was
more baggies of a
substance."
Police say Elbert
McFadden stashed 13
baggies of crystal meth
inside the secret
compartment.
"This bottle or other
bottles like it have
probably been passed
over before at a road
stop or traffic check."
The lesson that police
say they learned from
this --- looks can be
deceiving.
"When you see a
Mountain Dew bottle
or any kind of water
bottle in a cup holder,
officers will now know
to look a little bit closer
and see if this is what it
appears to be."

TRAFFICKING.
