I mean is it really a good idea to bring illegal drugs into a rental car? Well a Bronx man thought it was a brilliant idea. Carlos Tavarez rented a car from Budget Rental and after releasing he left 250 packets of heroin he called the lost and found department to say he left “Children Medicine” in the vehicle. Read more of the hilarious story after the jump.
Dope-hauling doofus Carlos Taverez, 30, of the Bronx left 250 packets of heroin in a Chevrolet Cruze he returned to a Budget Rental Car Agency at Newark Liberty International Airport on April 1, Port Authority spokesman Joseph Pentangelo said.
Thinking it would get thrown away, Tavarez said it was medicine and arranged to pick it up the next day.
Instead of medicine, working found $2,500 worth of heroin in packets labelled “Fat Boy.” When Taverez rolled up the next day (Wednesday, April 2) to pick up the bag of work, cops dressed as rental car agents arrested him. Taverez was charged with heroin possession with intent to sell.
