Florida man arrested after taking meth to sheriff's office for testing

PALATKA, Fla. (AP) Authorities say a Florida man was arrested after complaining to deputies that he might have been sold the wrong drug.
The Putnam County Sheriffs Office posted on Facebook that 49-year-old Douglas Peter Kelly was charged Tuesday with possession of methamphetamine.
Deputies say Kelly called the sheriffs office earlier Tuesday and explained that he had bought some meth about a week earlier. He said he had a bad reaction after smoking the drug and asked if deputies could test the narcotics quality.
At a detectives invitation, Kelly drove to the sheriffs office and handed over a clear, crystal-like substance wrapped in aluminum foil. Authorities say it field-tested positive for methamphetamine, and Kelly was arrested.
Kelly was being held on $5,000 bail. Jail records didnt list an attorney.
