Your new favorite sundae topping

From the "You've gotta give it to the man for trying" file comes the story of Oscar Martinez, who hid crack cocaine on top of a banana split during a traffic stop. A Richmond police officer pulled Martinez over Sunday night for a traffic violation on FM 1640, ran his information through the computer and found that Martinez had a suspended license and was wanted on an outstanding warrant.

As the officer was arresting Martinez, he said he really wanted to eat the banana split he had just bought. When the officer took a closer look at the dessert, he found two rocks of crack on top — hey, we didn't know Sonic was running a special! Despite getting points for originality, Martinez was charged with driving with a suspended license and possession of a controlled substance.
