Massachusetts state police announced today on an official Facebook page that a trooper stopped a vehicle in which 1,250 packets of heroin stamped “Obamacare” and “Kurt Cobain” were found. The four people inside the car were arrested. A state police dog (“K9 Frankie”) found the bags of heroin after a routine traffic stop. AP:
State police Lt. Daniel Richard says it’s not unusual for heroin to be stamped with numbers, words or symbols to identify who’s selling it. But he says the “Obamacare” stamp is one he hadn’t heard of.
