Drink some tea, go to jail

A Florida man, awaiting trial on a burglary charge, got thrown into jail after he reportedly failed a random drug test -- which was a shock to him, because he'd never done coke before. He had, however, enjoyed some tea fixed by his mother. That tea? Mate de Coca, which showed up as cocaine during his test.

His lawyer eventually got him sprung -- more than two months after the fact.

Hat Tip: Many thanks, Goshel!
