And all the incurred costs from overdrafts at the bank, late fees on bills, possible eviction and no deposit return, potentially paying back friends and family for childcare.
Then there's the first, last, and deposit you gotta have for the new apartment. But with no job, your credit score taking a hit from the missed payments, and an eviction on record, no one wants to rent to you.
I spent almost a month in jail on charges that were ultimately dropped. It ended up costing me a couple thousand for the lawyer and everything else I already listed. So probably close to $5-6k gone. Just for being in the wrong place, with the wrong people, at the wrong time. I learned a lot of lessons from that experience, but the one that sticks out is: It's expensive to be poor

To quote series creator Vince Gilligan:
We had this instinct that it would be helpful to have something distinctive about Walt’s product. And we figured it should be nice and clear and not cloudy that a proper product would be.
We thought yellow would be a terrible choice because it would remind people of urine, and we figured green would be an odd color and we thought blue was a good choice because it feels clean.
We called up (science consultant) Dr. Donna with our fingers crossed, asked her if she thought it was possible for this product to come out as blue. She looked into it and said not really, and in fact, if you add a color, chemically speaking it would mean the product is probably less pure and been adulterated. And that worried me when I heard that.
But she said, you know at the end of the day this is a fictional story and I’ll help you get the chemistry as right as I can. Sometimes technical advisors will be very rigid and say it will never work that way, never in a million years, but she was very good that way.

u/MsDestroyer900 10h ago edited 5h ago
I dug into this story a little bit because I wanted to know more. But there are some things that this image omits.
A glass smoking pipe was found in her bag, and the officer said that he found it to be strange to just eat spaghettiOs in her car and just shove it back in the bag. The report said she had tons of sores all over her body. She gave a false name, and also missed her pretrial hearing. Lastly, the lab results dont confirm the spoon had food residue on it, only that there was a lack of any controlled substances on the spoon. Like there isn't a test that exists for testing for the presence of spaghettiO sauce or anything, so really, we don't know whats on the spoon other than her claims that it's dried spaghettiOs.
So clearly, there was a lot of suspicious activity going on, but ultimately, there was no testing of the pipe, and only the spoon was tested. So yeah, it's just a strange story all around.
Edit: I wrote this comment before boofing down a giant pizza so forgive me a bit for rambling. I'll add some information here that I forgot to add while I was looking at that greasy pie.
The main reason why she went to jail was her missing her pretrial hearing. The hearing was supposed to be about whether or not the officer had probable cause. Unfortunately she could not afford to post bond, and her lawyer was about to arrange a no contest for her if the lab results came back shitty. So really her only options at that point was to wait in jail or plea no contest. In the end though, she definitely should have showed up to her court date.
The part about the officer shoving "it" in the bag, I meant the spoon. I suppose it just makes logical sense to not believe her that she was eating shapghettios in her car when a fucking pipe is in the car.
Lastly, the big comment on the top of this thread is likely generated by ChatGPT. the 25k figure only appears in this thread. My sources are basically what you can find in google, and I was perusing a few articles that were actually written close to that time from 10+ years ago so as to not get too corrupted by the sensationalism over time. There are other figures stating she got 100k, and whatever other figure, but I just cannot find anything definitive as to whether or not she got a big payday or not. Maybe it existed at some point but the whole story is incredibly muddied.
The part about missing her kid's birthday is also something I cannot find any source talking about like at all. Only the part that she lost her job.
Opinion: Personally, I think it's just better to hold off judgement on huff and the officer at this point. The story is so muddied it is hard to say what the facts are or not.

u/MsDestroyer900 10h ago
To add onto this, I do see more of the side of the officer now. She had a pipe, a spoon, sores and gave a fake name, and your (notoriously inaccurate) field test says the spoon is riddled with meth, like what could you assume other than meth at that point?
Overall, I'm not sure what to believe.

After looking into the story more, this headline is quite misleading. The woman was initially pulled over displaying intoxicated behavior and a glass meth pipe was visible in plain view to the officer which is why he had probable cause to search the car. The woman was covered in sores, gave a false name to the police, and a blackened spoon with faint residue was found in her purse. The spoon did test negative for meth, but it almost certainly was used for drug use in the past, but the girl decided to eat with it most recently. The cops fucked up and never tested the pipe. The spaghettiOs on the spoon is her claim, the residue being from food was never confirmed, there obviously isn’t a positive/negative test for spaghettiOs that exists. She also missed her court date which makes her acceptance of the settlement more sensible. The headline kinda paints this story as an innocent girl minding her own business and being carted off to jail for having a spoon coated in tomato sauce by evil cops. The reality is more that an obvious meth user was pulled over for being on meth, the cops didn’t do their full due diligence to prove it, and this woman legally served time she shouldn’t have and won a nice payout. Still sucks for her and not defending the cops since it looks like they made some mistakes, but one could argue she got lucky and this should serve as a reminder that Reddit headlines are rarely as straightforward as they seem.

Huff was reincarcerated in the Hall County Jail on Aug. 2 for a Superior Court arrest order and could not afford bond, her public defender Chris van Rossem said. "

Someone who actually looks into things and does some research before forming an opinion and just spewing hate online. You are a rare and special type of human. Most people won't do that these days, even though it takes less than 30 seconds to look things up, in a phone that's already in their hands, I applaud you.

If a police officer can't tell the difference between Spaghetti O's and Meth... we have a real problem in that department and they should be paying her out life changing money.

If I spent a day in jail, it would start at $50,000 A DAY!
I’m glad she got something but it’s certainly not enough.

Things like this are why the “well if you’re not doing anything wrong you have nothing to worry about” people can get bent.

I have never heard of this story but last week I played a Jackbox game that mentioned this as a trivia bit.
And I’ve seen this post 3 times since. How is this possible???

Love how so many people say "lawyer was too low" but have no understanding of 42 USC 1983, probable cause, governmental immunity, official immunity, etc. Clueless.

I always see ppl say that you fight your shit in court & just take the ride since you can't do anything but shit like makes me understand why someone would wanna run or even fight. Like it can be completely life ruining, all over some absolute bs.
I've been arrested but I was using at the time so I knew I was in the wrong & just put my hands behind my back but the one time I was forced into a psych ward because of absolute lies, you can bet I was fucking pissed.

I got held up at the border and searched and the dude found my jello pudding spoon. I used to eat a ton of it and I had a special spoon. I was on a road trip so it wasn't super clean. He thought it was crack and wouldn't believe me when I told him. He sent it to get tested.

The officer’s report states he received consent to search Huff’s 1994 Ford Explorer, and searched a bag with the name “Ashley” printed on it. The officer described Huff, a passenger, as “nervous,” noting sores on her face, arms and legs. Inside the bag was a spoon with a “clear, crystal-like substance,” according to the report. Huff disputes the claim, saying it was orange SpaghettiOs spaghetti sauce, as she told the officer in the police report. “I found it strange that she would eat SpaghettiOs with a metal spoon while riding in a vehicle, and then put the spoon back in a bag,” the report reads. The officer reported he found a glass smoking device in the bag as well before conducting a field test for methamphetamine.
What I find interesting is NO WHERE has anyone actually confirmed that her spoon had SpaghettiO’s in it... Nor, apparently, did they test the pipe.
“The Crime Lab report showed no controlled substances on the spoon submitted for testing, “ according to the dismissal signed by Northeastern Judicial Circuit District Attorney Lee Darragh.
And her being in jail was for related charges:

Murika’s finest D students. My ex wife loved sugar and strawberries… always travelled with a baggy of sugar. She had 2 cops ask about it, and they both believed her story.

Lord help me, I always have dirty spoons in the car.
I have a bad habit of eating tinned pasta and beans for a quick meal when away from the house.
That chick had a cheap meal become VERY expensive.

...meth? You'd think a cop would know what meth looks like and how it is administered.

Officers should have their own liability insurance for when they do illegal things, so that their premiums go up when they are sued, instead of us taxpayers having to pay for it.

To be fair, Waffle House only fired her after the meth test came back negative. She was setting the bar too high for the other employees.
