Dallas store has unexpected item in inventory _ drugs
March 18, 2010 6:03 AM

DALLAS
A surplus store in Dallas is supposed to sell desks, chairs and ladders owned by the city, not drugs.



Dallas police say there was a mix-up while remodeling the police department's property room, and more than 100 bags of drugs ended up at the surplus store. They were stuffed in an old cabinet the city was getting rid.

Dallas Police Sergeant Warren Mitchell says workers emptied the evidence drawers before hauling the furniture off to the surplus store, but they missed one drawer filled with cocaine, marijuana, methanphetamines and various pills.

Luckily, before the cabinet was sold, a worker at the surplus store spotted the drugs inside and called police.

Police say all of the evidence has been found, and no cases have been compromised.
