Santa Cruz County Sheriff’s Deputies find meth smoking pipe in box of cookies

Santa Cruz County Sheriff’s deputies arrested a woman for being under the influence, but found drug paraphernalia in an unusual place.

During the arrest, they found drug paraphernalia, so deputies searched her backpack for more illegal items.

In the backpack, they found a box of vanilla wafer cookies, but say they did not trust that cookies were the only items in the box. After taking the cookies out, deputies found a meth smoking pipe in a plastic bag at the bottom of the box.

Deputies say things are not always as they appear.
