You're guilty until proven innocent... Thats the way the law works.

Oops! 20 bucks says no apology.

Thats crap! while they waited to find out if it was meth or cat urine we were paying for her to be in jail (tax dollars) when there are countless numbers of murders and child rapists roaming free! complete and utter BS!

It's sad that America has gone from "innocent until proven guilty," to it's complete opposite.

The police just want to shake anyone down they can for money.

They arrest people for drug offenses but all they do is fine or jail them and don't offer any kind of counseling or programs.

Sure, it should be "innocent until proven guilty".  But, she may have been a dangerous meth possessor!  We can't let someone like that roam free.  She may have killed someone.

<please note, the above is sarcastic>

That's our legal system working for us!   Tip!  Don't Steal!  

She is already a thief, why should she not be held to determine whether there were drug charges as well?  

I think she should be deleted from society, not sitting in jail where my taxes pay for her

Obviously the vial she used for the dehidrated cat urine had previously contained Meth.

I DONT KNOW ABOUT HER BUT I WOULD BE CALLING BARRY COHEN.........

should have been released without bond. Like all the other rapists, arsonists, murderers etc....

The cops who claimed it was amphetamines should be jailed for filing a false police report.

I am sure the police lab would have squeezed every possible minute speck of meth from the vial if any meth had been there ... courts may accept field drug tests, but that doesn't guarantee that they are accurate.  Holding someone on a charge without evidence (even if it is possibly pending evidence) shouldn't be tolerated, even if she was a thief.  Very rarely are shoplifters sentenced to months of incarceration without a hearing of the EVIDENCE!

POLICE: 0            THIEF: 1

My husband is a cop and even he said that length of time is ridculous

Your innocent untill your money run's out,
ask the man in the white Bronco.

You take your chances when you rob the Wal-mart, people.
Any reasonable person would have more reason to believe it was meth - a vial of cat urine is much more unusual than finding a crook with some drugs on them. In fact, it's an extraordinarily unusual thing to be carrying; looks very much like meth, and if you get mistaken for a drug user because of your own circumstances as a thief, I say tough - that's how the cookie crumbles.

Why did it take so long for the lab tests to come back in the first place? She said it was cat urine, couldn't they have checked where she said she purchased it? Couldn't they have tested it and had results back within a couple days? I'm quite positive they could have. And in response to Keb.. grow up.

What was her cat doing meth?  Isn't there a chance the cat was dealing meth?   I think the cat should do 60 days in the slammer !!

Just goes to show, putting on a badge and uniform doesn't make one any smarter than the criminals.

We as americans this are fault!!! We need to start over from top to the bottom!! Are polices dept and sherriff dept are all about money. We have elected offical runiing this country in to dirt!! We as people of this great country need to stand up and do something about it. Welcome to the new America. Your guilt till you prove yourself innonece. Are fore fathers are turning over in there graves.

THIS IS CRAZY  WHAT WAS SHE DOING WITH CAT  URINE  IN THE FIRST  PLACE?.   SOMEHTING IS FISHEY ABOUT THIS  STORY.   LOL.      I DO NOT BELIEVE HER STORY.

What did she steal?  Also, did she really steal something or did she just go ahead and plead guilty to get out of jail and get it behind her instead of waiting in jail for a trial?  Why was there no bond set?
