Word hit the streets yesterday that Steven Page, the lead singer of the Barenaked Ladies, is planning to fight the recent cocaine charge he racked up last week when he was arrested in an apartment in upstate New York and charged with possession of a controlled substance. When asked about the powdery white substance in his possession, court documents report that Page allegedly told police “Yeah, it’s cocaine.”
While legal scholars and pundits alike have wished the singer well on his fight, they wanted to pass along this obscure legal tip: At your next drug bust, when the cops take a bag of blow out of your hand and ask you what it is, just keep your mouth shut. And if you do say something, say anything in the world but “Yeah, it’s cocaine.” Just a thought. [Reuters]
