FORT PIERCE, FL — A 40-year-old man who allegedly was trying to sell bread as crack cocaine to pay bills is facing charges, according to an arrest affidavit released Monday.
A deputy about 12:50 a.m. Sunday noticed a man identified as Timothy Allen Riggin, of the 600 block of Avenue E, peeking around the rear building of the Nowalk Motel.
Riggin allegedly ran from the deputy, but was apprehended near U.S. 1. Investigators turned up several pieces of faux crack cocaine in his pocket.
“When I located the counterfeit crack, the male immediately said it was bread,” the affidavit states. “I asked him what he meant and he said it is fake crack.”
Riggin, listed as unemployed, said he was trying to sell the bogus crack to pay bills.
He faces a felony possession of counterfeit controlled substance with intent to sell within 1,000 feet of a convenience store charge and a misdemeanor count of resisting without violence.
