Female officer resigns after mistaking 'this' for drugs (Read For More)

The Orlando Police officer who arrested a man after mistaking doughnut glaze for methamphetamine resigned a week after she was reprimanded for making false arrest.
Cpl. Shelby Riggs-Hopkins, who worked with the department for about a decade, left her job on Jan 22 to be a stay-at-home mom.
Riggs-Hopkins in December 2015 arrested Daniel Rushing, 65, after she spotted what she thought were drugs on the floorboard of his car. Police spotted him at a 7-11 they’d been monitoring after receiving complaints about drug activity.

Riggs-Hopkins pulled Rushing over and saw a rocky, white substance inside his vehicle.
“I kept telling them, ‘That’s ... glaze from a doughnut,” Rushing told the newspaper. “They tried to say it was crack cocaine at first, then they said, ‘No, it’s meth, crystal meth.’”
Riggs-Hopkins administered three road-side drugs tests — one turned up negative for cocaine while the other two, performed incorrectly, tested positive.
Rushing was strip searched and spent hours in jail before being released on $2,500 bond. A few weeks later lab tests revealed the substance was indeed a sugary glaze and not drugs, according to the newspaper.
Deputy Chief Orlando Rolon admitted after the incident Riggs-Hopkins, nor any of the officers had been trained on how to use the drug test kits.
Since the wrongful arrest, 737 officers have completed the training, with only a couple dozen new hires still waiting to learn how to use the kits, the Sentinel reported.
Riggs-Hopkins was given a written reprimand for making an improper arrest. They found no evidence she acted in bad faith.
Rushing is now suing the city and the manufacturer of the drug test kits.
