A man had an unusual explanation when BART police found him holding cocaine baggies while passed out on a train: He said he sprinkled it on his marijuana, authorities say.

Eddie Maldon III, 27, of Antioch could stick with that defense when he goes to trial in June in connection with the incident last fall. Prosecutors say he is a seasoned offender with multiple convictions for drug sales....

Officers responded and discovered that Maldon was holding a bag with 12 individually wrapped baggies of powder cocaine, Wagstaffe said. He also had $294, authorities said....

Officers arrested him, and he told them that the cocaine was for “personal use” and that he “liked to sprinkle it on his marijuana,” Wagstaffe said.

1. Oh boy...

"Mr. Maldon, are you interested in a plea bargain? We will allow you to plead guilty to simple possession of only enough cocaine to get you six months in a minimum-security prison...IF you give me the name and address of your pot dealer so we can charge him with selling oregano as marijuana."
