BURRILLVILLE -- A Burrillville town councilor got more than he bargained for when he bought a used police cruiser at auction. Kevin Blais bought the 2004 Ford Crown Victoria in an online auction from the Hartford, Conn., police, the Associated Press wrote from a report in the Woonsocket Call. He was cleaning it last week when he noticed a cracked area on the one-piece molded seat assembly. When he removed the seat assembly to clean the floor, he found a plastic bag containing what he thought was crack cocaine. He called local police, who confirmed it was cocaine. Blais speculates that a suspect stuffed the drugs through the crack to prevent police finding them. Burrillville Lt. Kevin San Antonio says Hartford police were "apologetic" when he told them of the discovery. -- The Associated Press
