Dreaming of a White Christmas
When John Re, 49, sold his house in Stamford, Conn., for $670,000, he used his profits in an unusual way, police say. They allege Re rented a hotel suite across from police headquarters and turned it into a crack cocaine factory, processing about $6,000 in cocaine per month. They don’t accuse him of being a crack dealer, however; apparently all the cocaine was for use by himself and his friends. A raid found 17.4 grams of powdered cocaine, plus smaller amounts of crack and marijuana. Still, Re had enough money left to bail himself and two friends out of jail. (Stamford Advocate) ...Just the sort who will plead for leniency from the judge because he’s homeless.
