Excerpt from the Police Files, Hot Springs, AR. Steven Mross
Am I mistaken for thinking this is plain wrong. I mean, I hate drug users, pushers and makers, but just think, an officer, on duty or off duty, observes you purchase ammo?
2/11/04
It was an unusually large purchase of salt that led an off-duty Hot Springs police officer working security at a department store to a felony drug arrest Monday night.
Officer Paul Calcagno was working at Price Cutter, 4216 Central Ave., shortly after 5:30pm, when he saw three men enter the store and purchase three large containers of table salt, which Calcagno knew is used in the manufacture of methamphetamines.
The officer followed then out to there vehicle and ran a check on the license plate, which showed outstanding warrants for the listed owner.
