Man Kidnapped, Strip-Searched, Jailed After Cops Mistook Sports Soak for Drugs

Bronx native Anthony Small was traveling as a passenger with his two brothers in a car going through Fort Lee, NJ on October 28th, 2013. The trio had just met with VH1 producers who were interested in featuring Small's line of clothing.

Officer Richard Hernandez pulled the car over for a minor moving violation but noticed a bag of bath salts in the car. Believing the substance to be illegal bath salts and not the kind in which an athlete soaks, everyone in the car was arrested.

The arrests were made in spite of the fact the salts were properly labeled as a muscle relief product and in their original packaging. Small tried telling Hernandez the product was given to his girlfriend at an NFL promotion. The substance was a muscle relieving bath treatment called "Soak," which is a brand endorsed by many professional sports teams. Hernandez didn't believe the story and the three were hauled off to jail.
