Man busted for drug buy with pig

SYRACUSE, N.Y. — It was a simpler sort of drug trade. Syracuse police say a 45-year-old man offered a slaughtered pig as partial payment for a bag of crack cocaine.

They say two men were spotted making the deal on a street corner just before 8 p.m. Thursday. Angelo Colon of Fulton was arrested on a misdemeanor drug possession charge and 42-year-old Omar Veliz faces a felony drug sale charge. Police say Colon paid half a pig and $10 for a $50 bag of crack. Veliz told police the pig was for a celebration for a relative being released from jail. While officers were arresting the suspects, someone took the pig.

It registered an 8.5 on the Banjo scale and lasted about 20 minutes. Former vice-president Al Gore recommended that "we better not let anything like that happen again, the universe won't take it, I'm super serial."
