COLUMBUS, Ga. (AP) - A shopper at a Wal-Mart in Columbus left behind something illegal - a small bag of methamphetamine.
The store manager notified police about finding 1.4 grams of the drug on the floor of the store near a checkout line about 3 a.m. Saturday. The manager told police the drug may have fallen out of a woman's pocket when she checked out with merchandise. Police will use the store's surveillance cameras to try to locate her.
The Columbus Ledger-Enquirer says a police report describes the woman as white, with dark hair, about 5 feet, five inches tall and weighing 100 pounds.
