Box Of Cocaine Sent To SoHo's Marc Jacobs Store

sambergcoke.jpg If you're busting ass serving fashionistas all day at Marc Jacobs on Mercer Street, chances are you're familiar with a little drug called cocaine. And odds are you may have been personally introduced to it once or twice. But that doesn't mean that a giant box of the white stuff that was shipped to your workplace—addressed to you—means that you have a drug problem, right? Well, maybe it doesn't.

The NY Post is reporting that a female staffer at the SoHo shop received a package that she thought was filled with anthrax—the FBI eventually turned it over to the NYPD, who discovered it was cocaine. Phew? Except the employee was taken in for questioning, and now says she's considering filing charges against the cops who she claims treated her badly.

As for that cocaine, a source told the paper, "It appears to have been a huge mix-up. The girl has no idea why she was sent it." Maybe she ordered it when she was in the Matrix?:

    It's not like someone fed-exed human blood or fireworks. It's just cocaine.

    Dude, it was just their weekly shipment. How do you think they make their money? By selling $28 rain boots? http://www.marcjacobs.com/#/en-us/specialitems

    She should be tossed in the clink. People do not unknowingly get a box of yay. Fucking retarded.

    They also don't call the cops on themselves.

    People still think all mysterious white powder is anthrax? Please.

    The amusing part is that these people think they are important enough to be targeted with anthrax. Weaponized anthrax powder is extremely expensive to make, and would probably go for hundreds of thousands of dollars per ounce on the black market...no one is sending a box of it to a retail sales girl.
