That's no Pool Cleaner

June 23, 2019

Today's Florida Man flashback includes Guillermo Arteaga, a Florida man who tried to break bad before being found with 200 grams of meth in his vehicle. Driving 80 mph on a 45, Artega was pulled over when his vehicle was searched. A black bag was found containing small vacuum-sealed pouches with "ice-like substances stored within. These turned out to be meth.

"When questioned by police over what he had in the back, however, Artega responded, saying that the meth wasn't for human consumption, rather for cleaning pools. With all the stories that criminals come up with, it’s mind-boggling these people don’t try to become fiction writers. Artega is now facing charges for drug trafficking, grand theft, and theft of a vehicle. Just another day in Florida.
