Stuffed Potato

OCTOBER 4--In what Australian customs officials called a 'novel attempt' to import Ecstasy, an unknown drug trafficker hid a stash of the party drug inside Mr. Potato Head. The pills were intercepted at the Sydney International Mail Centre when agents selected a parcel from Ireland for examination. According to a press release, 'upon opening the parcel, Customs officers were greeted with the smiling face of Mr Potato Head.' When they removed the toy's plastic back, they discovered a bag of MDMa weighing about 300 grams. Customs officials released the below evidence photos of Mr. Potato Head. The Hasbro toy now joins Tickle Me Elmo (and some unsuspecting puppies) as our favorite recent contraband vessels. (1 page)
