A woman who was arrested on drug charges has been released after police realised the spoon she was carrying was for spaghettiOs rather than crystal meth.

Of course, this was after poor Ashley Gabrielle Huff had spent an entire month in jail for the police’s blunder.

The 23-year-old from Florida was arrested in July after an officer found the spoon in a car she was a passenger in and thought the remains of her tinned meal was actually residue from the illegal drug methamphetamine.

Despite always maintaining her innocence, Ms Huff missed some of her court dates leading to her being incarcerated for a month.




A crime lab analysis on the spoon later found there to be no traces of the drug, made famous by the award winning TV show Breaking Bad, and Ms Huff was released from Hall County Jail on Thursday.

Public defender Chris van Rossem said: ‘[Ms Huff] has maintained all along that there’s no way in hell that’s any sort of drug residue or anything like that.’

Ms Huff, who has no prior felonies to her name, reportedly considered taking a plea deal to close the case, in spite of the fact that she was innocent.

We can only speculate that this was the Florida police officer’s reaction when he heard about the mistake:
