Norman Gurley, 30, is facing drug-related charges in Lorain County, Ohio, despite the fact that state troopers did not actually find any drugs in his possession.

Ohio passed a law in 2012 making it a felony to alter a vehicle to add a secret compartment with the “intent” of using it to conceal drugs for trafficking.

Seems the compartment may have emitted the scent of drugs....so they arrested him for past 'crimes'.

Hey, remember, it's not first time, just the first time he got caught.
Why?  Well, because I'm a bastard, that's why.
