Woman Tries Convincing Police that Cocaine is Really Baking Soda!

Iowa City Police pulled over a vehicle last night and discovered that one of the passengers was carrying a plastic baggie filled with a white substance in her purse. She tried convincing the police that it was baking soda that she uses to brush her teeth that she used when traveling to Chicago. Turns out it was 63 grams of crack cocaine!

Charnise McCambry was arrested and charged with cocaine possession with intent to distribute (which is a Class B Felony), possession of drugs without a tax-stamp (which is a Class D Felony), and two misdemeanor marijuana possession charges.
