Reading time: 1 minute
A 73-year-old American man is in jail after he allegedly tried to deposit almost a gram of methamphetamine along with his money into a bank in the small Texas town of Wichita Falls.
The local Times Record News reports that Louis Fueque Kent has been charged with possession of a controlled substance and remains in Wichita County Jail in lieu of $5,000 bail following his gaff.
According to an arrest warrant affidavit:
Around 10:50 a.m. on April 9, Kent pulled into the commercial lane of First Bank, 2801 Midwestern Pkwy., and sent a loan payment with some cash, checks and a piece of paper through the deposit tube.
When the teller opened the piece of paper, a blue plastic baggie fell out with a white crystal-like substance inside. She contacted a manager and placed the baggie in a locked desk until authorities with the Wichita County Sheriff’s Office arrived at the bank.
The substance in the baggie weight 0.91 grams and field tested positive for methamphetamine.
