Lately the police have been adopting a policy of trickery as a sting! Tricking the criminal masterminds to turn themselves in! Here's a story about the Police in Granite Shoals, Texas posting a fake warning on Facebook last Tuesday, which said batches of heroin and meth that were being sold in the area had tested positive for ... get this Ebola virus.

I don't think that's even a possibility.  You usually have to come in contact with someone who has Ebola to catch it. The FB post said:

“If you have recently purchased meth or heroin in Central Texas, please take it to the local police or sheriff department so it can be screened with a special device,” police advised. “DO NOT use it until it has been properly checked for possible Ebola contamination! Contact any Granite Shoals PD officer for testing.”

A 29 year old woman named Chasity Hopson showed up on Thursday with a bag of meth she wanted them to test.  She's up against charges for possession of a controlled substance. :-)
