Life in a nursing home can be a pretty depressing and boring one for many older people. Apparently, some seniors at a Jackson, Florida nursing facility were getting so fed up that they decided to spice up their dreary lives a little bit by trying to get some crack cocaine. Residents of the Golden Retreat Shelter Care Center expected to get a major buzz on, when they purchased what appeared to be a white substance from a 22-year-old "dealer."
It was not to be, however.
The young con artist, it turns out, took their money, but betrayed their trust. What they believed to be crack wasn't the real deal at all. The deceiving dude just shoved some hard pieces of bread into Tylenol bottles and sold them for 5 bucks a pop to the gleeful oldsters on the days their Social Security checks arrived.
Somebody alerted the proper authorities of the ruse and the bogus "drug lord" was arrested for his dastardly actions, leaving some ticked off and very embarrassed elderly folks behind, minus their money and minus the high they had eagerly been anticipating.
Guess they'll just have to settle for a few games of canasta to get their thrills from now on.
