Man finds cocaine at Oklahoma Wal-Mart

Thu Dec 7, 8:21 PM ET

EDMOND, Okla. - A man shopping at a Wal-Mart Supercenter found a surprise package in the toy section, a small plastic bag containing cocaine. ADVERTISEMENT

The man was shopping near bicycles Monday when he noticed an open pack of cigarettes under a shelf, according to an Edmond police report, and inside the pack was the small bag containing a white, powdery substance.

The substance was later identified as about one gram of cocaine and will be destroyed, police said.

That the substance was found and turned over to police was fortunate, according to police spokeswoman Glynda Chu, who said the amount could be lethal for a child.

"Being in the toy department, a child could easily have found it, and children will put anything in their mouths," she said.
