Two men from Wisconsin were arrested after police found cocaine, firearms, cash, and drug paraphernalia — all inside a bag boldly labeled “Definitely Not a Bag Full of Drugs.”
The incident occurred on July 7 in Pleasant Prairie, a village in southeast Wisconsin, when local police pulled over a vehicle linked to a wanted person. According to authorities, officers quickly realized the situation was more serious than a simple warrant.
After making contact, K9 Chase, a police dog trained to detect narcotics, was brought in and alerted officers to something suspicious in the vehicle. That gave the police probable cause to conduct a full search.
Inside the car, they found cocaine, a loaded gun, drug paraphernalia, and a quantity of U.S. currency — all tucked into a black bag bearing the ironic phrase: “Definitely Not a Bag Full of Drugs.”
Both the driver and passenger, men aged 37 from Kenosha, were arrested on the spot.
The driver faces charges including:
- Possession of a firearm by a felon
- Possession of cocaine
- Possession of drug paraphernalia
The passenger was also charged with:
- Carrying a concealed weapon
- Possession of cocaine
- Possession of drug paraphernalia
In a Facebook post, the Pleasant Prairie Police Department thanked its officers for staying alert and removing dangerous items from the streets.
While the bag’s label may have been intended as a joke, police clearly weren’t laughing.
