Sarasota man arrested for carrying Aleve

SARASOTA, Fla. — Turns out those small blue pills in one Sarasota man's car were Aleve after all.

Villis Sanders was stopped in late March for a broken tag light. His license had been suspended because of unpaid traffic tickets. He told police the pills were the over-the-counter medicine for his aching wisdom teeth.

But a drug kit used at the scene said the tablets were amphetamines. Sanders spent 22 hours in jail.

Now prosecutors say the test was wrong. Before trial, prosecutors took the pills to a laboratory where tests showed the pills were Aleve after all.
