Woman mistakes block of cheese for cocaine

06:43 AM CST on Wednesday, December 7, 2005

Associated Press

MEMPHIS, Tenn. - In an unusual case of mistaken identity, a woman who apparently thought a block of white cheese was cocaine was charged with trying to hire a hit man to rob and kill four men.

The woman also was mistaken about the hit man. He turned out to be an undercover police officer.

Jessica Sandy Booth, 18, was arrested over the weekend and charged with four counts of attempted murder and four counts of soliciting a murder. She remained jailed Tuesday on $1 million bond.

According to police, Booth was in the intended victims' home last week when she mistook a block of queso fresco for cocaine -- inspiring the idea to hire someone to break into the home, take the drugs and kill the men.

An informant described the plot to police, who arranged a meeting between Booth and the undercover officer.

Police said the undercover officer gave Booth some nonfunctioning handguns and ammunition, and they went to the home under police surveillance.

A search of the home revealed no drugs -- only the white, crumbly cheese common in Mexican cuisine.

"Four men were going to lose their lives over some cheese," said Lt. Jeff Clark, who heads Project Safe Neighborhoods.


Here is anther link with the picture of the cheese, and this quote....

The undercover officer was recording Booth's conversation and police say they have her saying any children old enough to testify would have to be killed as well.

what was she planning on doing with the cocaine? Sell it? Use it herself?

People are truly moronic...

Queso fresco isn't worth losing your life over... maybe a really nice creamy camembert.

Shows you the idiot brigade never ceases to live up to their name.

albania 12-07-2005 09:00 AM

Maleficent, sorry I edited after you posted, apparently she was a model and needed to pay $7900 to a modeling agency.

cyrnel 12-07-2005 09:10 AM

It could have ended much worse, for everyone but her.

While we all get a free chuckle about the limits of human stupidity, she'll have to live with those "It's the Cheese" commercials for the rest of her life.

Glory's Sun 12-07-2005 09:50 AM

wtf?? How can you mistake cheese for cocaine?? People really amaze me sometimes.

So she mistook cheese for cocaine, hired an undercover cop for a hit-man AND she's being suckered by one of those phony modeling agencies?

I'm guessing the cheese will score higher in its SAT's

Poppinjay 12-07-2005 10:35 AM

Long distance information Give me Memphis, Tennessee ...

From the second link, she's not even very attractive. I'm guessing a prettier person would have only had to shell out 1 or 2k.

But hey, she now has a porfolio, photogrpahed by a professional.

ya know - it's really not nice to make fun of the afflicted.. it's not her fault that she's as dumb as a box of rocks... She thinks she's pretty and that's all that matters...

Astrocloud 12-07-2005 10:53 AM

Hey man don't underestimate the power of Cheese. She knew it was cheese and just wanted that block of cheese.

First thing I thought of...she's just stuck on stupid....those cops when they're done with her should go arrest the agency for fraud. Legit ones get percentages of jobs, not outrageous fees charged.

Willravel 12-07-2005 11:23 AM

Now that's a bad investment.

albania 12-07-2005 11:24 AM

Everything is going wrong for her and she's only 18, probably going to spend a lot of time in prison too. After having said that all I can say is man is she stupid, some of your comments had me laughing my ass off.

well, she should have at least gotten a cut off the kilo for a sample... i guess she doesn't test drive cars either.

BigBen 12-07-2005 12:13 PM

Come on, guys...

Who here HASN'T killed someone for some cheese? I know I have. He who hath no homicidal dairy experiences can cast the first wheel...

xepherys 12-07-2005 01:15 PM

I have a love hate relationship with stupid people... I hate them, but I love to laugh at them. Such a waste of proteins and carbon atoms. *grumble*

genuinegirly 12-07-2005 01:28 PM

This is one instance where I can honestly say thank goodness for undercover cops.
Killing guys over cheese? Good thing they intercepted it.

I'd hate to be that woman though... so crazed over cocaine that she would kill for it! and then it turns out to be queso fresca. Then she ends up arrested. Bummer of a life there.

Let's play a game called Cocaine (crack in some cases) or Cheese:

Cocaine or Cheese?

Crack, actually. But still, cocaine aisle.

Cocaine or Cheese?

Still cocaine.

Well, still cheese.

One last Cocaine or Cheese?

This is cocaine.

If I weren't paying attention and I was in the drug business (and slightly out my mind at the time) I can see how some one could look at cheese and think "cocaine."

Glory's Sun 12-07-2005 01:31 PM

If you were in the drug business you would have checked it a little better than just getting a glimpse ;)

xepherys 12-07-2005 01:31 PM

Hahaha, great game. I can honestly say I'm naive enough to not really now what cocaine looks like. *shrug* I guess that's probably not a bad thing?

or at least a sample snort or taste.

stevie667 12-07-2005 01:36 PM

Another thought, was she planning to hire this hitman with cheese too?

xepherys 12-07-2005 01:37 PM

When rappers talk about "making cheese" maybe this is WHY that lingo entered into pop culture? 50 Cent certainly isn't Amish...

HAHA! Loaves of bread she mistook as gold bullion and cold cuts for ... ?

World's King 12-07-2005 02:06 PM

That's odd... I just did six lines of blue cheese about ten minutes ago.

/me studies this thread for possible hotseat questions.

Rodney 12-07-2005 04:55 PM

I'd probably kill for a block of Jarlsberg Swiss right now. But I'd do the job myself!

JumpinJesus 12-07-2005 05:03 PM

I'm eating some cheese right now. Any of you fuckers come near me and I'm taking you all out with my coco puffs.

Mantus 12-07-2005 08:23 PM

Think JJ is hooked,
we need an intervention.

I'll get some crackers, he can't take what he doesn't have!

SirLance 12-08-2005 08:14 AM

People have killed for stranger things....

I'm with Ben. Not the first time. But not goat cheese. Never that.

raeanna74 12-08-2005 02:34 PM

What would we do without stupid people like this to laugh at and make ourselves feel smarter?

This thread is hilarious!

Furry 12-08-2005 02:43 PM

Reminds me of my own mistaken cheese story.

I was small, Mum had just cleaned out the old soap from the dishwasher and gone upstairs for something and left it on the sideboard. It looked and smelled exactly like roquefort (very strong French blue cheese, for those not in the know), which I knew there was a block of in the fridge .

Me being addicted to said cheese from a young age, I decided to be greedy and sneaky and snarfed a piece of the smelly goodness from the tin foil that it was resting on. It tasted... different, but still ok.

I only realised that something was dead wrong when I started foaming at the mouth around five seconds later. It took ten minutes to stop, with my mother alternatively in hysterics and worried to death as she washed my mouth out...god knows why, with all that soap it was clean enough already...

Needless to say I still haven't heard the end of that one...

Just goes to show how easy it is to mistake cheese for stuff. What's next, someone mistaking cheese for C4?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/foodheroes...ar_300x193.jpg

Hmm, cheese or C4?

flamingdog 12-08-2005 04:37 PM

Gutted. Man, that is double bad luck.

JumpinJesus 12-08-2005 04:39 PM

hmmm....I'm learning that cheese can easily be mistaken for a number of things.

Furry illustrated the point well with his mistaking a bar of soap for cheese.

Here's another one for you.

Cheese or David Hasselhoff?
http://img96.exs.cx/img96/4782/david_hasselhoff_RED.jpg

Seems easy, doesn't it?

In fact, this is cheese. It's a poor quality cheese that for some reason comes encased in leather and is identifiable by it's hairy appearance. This cheese is extremely popular in central European countries like Germany and Austria.

MindBabble 12-08-2005 04:46 PM

well ive just gone and got myself some bluevein and let me tell you man...... this shite is good lol.

It really makes you wonder what her upbringing was like...

ziadel 12-08-2005 11:57 PM

if she was trying to be a model, then she at least thought she looked good, anyone got pics of this crazy girl? :lol:
