More like "Breaking Mad." A New York City man reportedly has filed suit in federal court after the NYPD arrested him for possession of methamphetamine that lab tests subsequently revealed to be Jolly Rancher candies. According to court documents obtained by The Smoking Gun, Love Olatunjiojo of Brooklyn filed the civil rights action this week in connection with the summer arrest, naming not only the city, but also the three arresting police officers and the Brooklyn District Attorneys Office. The suit reportedly stems from an incident that occurred in Brooklyns Coney Island neighborhood around 8:30 p.m. on June 20, or just after Olatunjiojo and two pals purchased candy, and specifically two red and four blue Jolly Ranchers, from a local candy shop. Kenneth Smith, Olatunjiojos attorney, has since told The Smoking Gun the candies were still in their wrappers when the officers stopped the trio - and searched them. After finding the Jolly Ranchers, Olatunjiojo and one of his friends were arrested for drug possession, according to the lawsuit.
