Pair caught with bag labeled ‘definitely not a bag full of drugs’ is actually full of drugs: Cops

A couple in Portland, Oregon, were arrested last week after a traffic stop led police to discover a bag full of drugs humorously labeled “Not a Bag full of Drugs.”

The arrest took place around 1:15 a.m. on Wednesday when police pulled over a stolen Ford Taurus, as detailed in an arrest affidavit.

The driver, identified as 35-year-old Reginald Reynolds, and his passenger, 37-year-old Mia Baggenstos, were both taken into custody following the discovery of the drugs and other illegal items in their possession.

According to police reports, Reynolds had a loaded .357 handgun in his pocket at the time of the arrest, as well as a bag of methamphetamine and a significant sum of cash—$1,360 to be exact. Officers also found pills that Reynolds claimed were oxycontin, along with a meth pipe.

The search of the vehicle turned up more methamphetamine and a variety of drug-related paraphernalia, including two scales and small plastic baggies commonly used for drug distribution.

However, what stood out to the officers was a brown bag inside the car that bore the tongue-in-cheek label, “Definitely Not a Bag full of Drugs.” Despite the bag’s lighthearted disclaimer, it was, in fact, filled with a substantial amount of methamphetamine.

In total, the police seized approximately a half-pound of drugs during the traffic stop.

Reynolds and Baggenstos now face several charges, including drug possession, methamphetamine trafficking, and possession of a stolen vehicle.
