Florida Woman Found It Easier To Explain the Meth Pipe Than the Baby Raccoon

DATELINE - Clearwater FL

If you're riding a bicycle at night, there are a couple of safety measures you should take.

Reflective clothing is nice. So are some lights.

43-year old Florida Woman Lindsay Rodewald was stopped by Clearwater police earlier this week when they observed her riding her bike at night without lights.

For some reason, Lindsay gave the police verbal permission to search her backpack.

Not a smart move, Linds.

The reason? Well, inside the backpack, officers found a broken glass pipe with a crystal residue that turned out to be methamphetamine.

Lindsay told police that she had forgotten the pipe was in the bag.

She also may have forgotten about something else that was in the bag - a baby raccoon.
