Student Received a Bag of Cocaine with Her Amazon.com Order
Student's Textbook Order from Amazon Includes Cocaine
Talk about getting more than you bargained for.
A student ordering a textbook from Amazon received the book, plus a bag of white powder.
Sophia Stockton, who ordered a book on terrorism for one of her classes at MidAmerica Nazarene University in Kansas, received the Amazon shipment and discovered a bag of cocaine that fell out of the pages of the book.
Her initial reaction was that it was Anthrax, so she took it to the authorities -- turns out, she had been shipped $400 worth of cocaine, MSNBC reports
Stockton, who is a junior in college, ordered a copy of Understanding Terrorism: Challenges, Perspectives and Issues from Amazon.com.

It came from a third-party Amazon Marketplace reseller, however, called Warehouse Deals. Warehouse Deals promises "deep discounts on open-box, like-new, refurbished, or used products that are in good condition but do not meet Amazon.com's rigorous standards as 'new.'"
Sounds like they may have some explaining to do.

Stockton explains, "I told them white powder was in my terrorism textbook and so I put it on the table and they're like, 'oh, okay,' And so he went back and tested it. He comes back and says, ‘you didn't happen to order some cocaine with your textbook, did you?' And I was like, no!"
