    • Drugs Found In Chocolate Ducks

    Posted: 4:48 pm EST November 9, 2007Updated: 5:43 am EST November 12, 2007

    ROCKDALE COUNTY, Ga. -- Rockdale County deputies have made an unusual bust -- drugs in candy ducks!

    Officials arrested Matthew Jackson, 20, of Covington for allegedly selling LSD and other hallucinogens baked into duck-shaped chocolate candy.

    Authorities said the chocolate ducks were wrapped in silver and gold foil. Officials said a crushed sample of the chocolate revealed a large amount of a mushroom-like material mixed into the chocolate.

    Officials with the Rockdale County Sheriff’s Department said they had never seen anything like it.

    A search of Jackson’s vehicle revealed 74 more ducks in a cooler bag, officials said.

    He remains in jail while awaiting a bond hearing. He is charged with the sale of LSD; sale of psilocin, the active ingredient in psilocybin mushrooms; and possession with intent to distribute psilocin.
