American Fork man arrested, police seize 875 doses of LSD

AMERICAN FORK, Utah -- An American Fork man faces charges of possession with the intent to distribute after a traffic stop for speeding led to the discovery of more than 800 doses of LSD.

According to a statement of probable cause, officers initiated a traffic stop on a vehicle on January 22 but the driver fled at high speeds and the pursuit was terminated.

Police later located the suspect in the Highland area and identified him as Skyler Strasburg of American Fork. Police found a black backpack at a residence near the area where Strasburg was apprehended, and they said surveillance footage shows the man at the residence with the backpack shortly before his arrest.

Inside the bag officers found several envelopes which together "contained 875 LSD blotted paper stamps," according to the PC statement.

Police say that Strasburg told them he had the backpack in his possession but denied knowing the envelopes contained hits of LSD. He told police someone approached him outside of his apartment complex and gave him money to mail the envelopes, but Strasburg was "unable to provide any further information of the unknown male."

Strasburg was booked into the Utah County Jail and faces one count of possession with the intent to distribute as a second-degree felony.

According to the police 875 tabs is worth $648,000

I feel like a good 25% of the busts I hear about involve being pulled over for speeding. Watch your fucking odometer if you're running drugs somewhere

The fact that it was LSD and Utah, I automatically thought of that scene from SLC Punk! where the guy runs from the cops with blotter in his pocket and runs through sprinklers so an entire sheet absorbs into his leg then he chases his mom because she became some kind of bovine demon hybrid. Ah, been a long time since I've seen that movie.

So quick question wtf is wrong with the idiots, can they not make rational decisions. Wtf I can only smh


[9 Points] Green_TeaRoll:

Why didn't this idiot just pull over? They can't search your vehicle without a warrant

It's probably because he read on Reddit that if the LSD was in envelopes that it's mail and can't be open. I look forward to reading that terrible advice for the rest of my life on here anyway.

A whole875 doses wowzers what a bust!!!!

Running from the police definitely blows any hope of his story being perceived as legit. Other than that he could have honestly been getting paid by a vendor to drop orders off at post offices.

Those sealed envelopes didn't do him any good.
