A woman spent 3 months in prison after her candy floss was mistaken for methamphetamine

This week it was reported that a Georgia woman spent three months in jail after her bag of candy floss was mistaken for methamphetamine owing to a defective drug test.

Dasha Fincher, 41, is suing Monroe County, the police and a drug test company over the alleged mix-up during a traffic stop on New Year’s Eve 2016.

The 41-year-old was held in custody because she could not afford her $1m (£780,000) bond.
