[Purveyor]

(02-24) 14:54 PST Elkton, Md. (AP) --

The Cecil County Sheriff's Office said a deputy about to take a bathroom break at a gas station smelled crack cocaine and made a quick arrest. Police spokesman Lt. Bernard Chiominto said Deputy John Lines was waiting to use the bathroom Friday at a Wawa convenience store when he smelled crack cocaine from outside the bathroom.

Lines then saw a 27-year-old man come out of the bathroom. Chiominto said Lines went in the bathroom, saw drug paraphernalia and arrested the man, who police said had glassy eyes and dilated pupils.

Police said the man resisted arrest and was subdued using pepper spray. He was charged with assault, resisting arrest and possession of drug paraphernalia after police found drug paraphernalia in his pockets.

10. Yeah, I get it.

But my question was serious. Does crack cocaine have a smell?

[HillbillyBob]

17. It has a very distinct acrid stench quite unlike pot,

A sort of plasticy chemical burning smell like say synthetic carpet with kerosene and wood alcohol with some chlorine added and burning..tho that is not quite it either. I lived in an apartment near a crack house years ago. gag.
