Drug dealers are mostly stupid in the way they ply their trade, but in a few cases you’ve got to hand it to them — they can be creative in ways you might never expect.

In this week’s case, cops have suspected that drugs are being sold out of a local KFC. Undercover cops do a stakeout on the fast food store but they aren’t able to catch anybody — until now.

A narc spots a customer returning to the KFC looking mad as a wet hen. A few minutes later the guy comes back out of the restaurant smiling. He gets in his car and drives off.

Curious, the narc follows and later pulls the guy over. Turns out the customer’s complaint was that somebody had slipped a small baggie of marijuana (he called it "a green leafy substance") in his order instead of mashed potatoes.

"What did you say when you placed you order?" the narc questions.

"I asked for an extra biscuit," says the customer, "and they give me dope, instead."

The narc confiscates the dope, then drives back to the KFC and puts his car in the takeout line. When he arrives at the menu board he asks for "three pieces of fried chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy, and an extra biscuit."

When he pays for the order the price seems a bit out of line, but he pays for the order using marked money issued to him by the police narcotics division. Then he drives to the pickup window and gets his order. Sure enough, there’s a bag of dope in the white paper bag with his chicken dinner.

To make an even better court case, the narc calls for undercover backup. He sends another plainclothes cop through the KFC line, with a request for "an extra biscuit."

Turns out "an extra biscuit" is the code word for a baggie of marijuana. Just on speculation, the narc and his partner go to several other fast food restaurants around town, placing similar orders. But when they ask for an "extra biscuit," that’s exactly what they get.
