My tweaker brother was recently arrested and released after the evidence
disappeared while he was in custody in the West Hollywood area police
station. Although I didn't witness the incident, I am absolutely and
positively sure that he was guilty and even know exactly where he
purchased it (FlexSpa Gay Bathhouse and AIDS Em****ium near Melrose and
Vine), but after a night in jail the little ziplock baggie of crystal
meth turned into some "unidentified cleaning solvent" and he was released
and promptly returned to Las Vegas to score some crystal meth from a guy
named Kevin at a gay bar called The Eagle (E. Tropicana at Pecos).
