Police say alleged drug dealer accepted gift cards

ATHENS, Ala. (AP) -- You can call it a case of creative drug-dealing. Athens police have a 38-year-old man in custody for allegedly accepting gift cards for payment for crack cocaine and prescription drugs. Police Captain Marty Bruce, a spokesman, said the man was arrested Monday night. He was charged with possession of a controlled substance.

Bruce said officers executed a search warrant at the man's house and seized crack cocaine, Xanax pills, $899 cash and $175 in gift cards.

Police said the suspect could face additional charges. He remains in the Limestone County Jail under $5,000 bond.

I wonder how much crack cocaine they actually found on this bust.

The rest of it could be found in a million+ homes across the country.
