Shampoo mistaken for Drugs - Victim awarded 100,000 Dollars
NEIL Parry was arrested in June 2010 at the Darwin International Airport by Australian Customs and Border Protection Service agents who believed he was attempting to smuggle 3.5 pounds of liquid ecstasy inside Pantene Pro-V shampoo and conditioner bottles. He spent three days in jail and was engaged in a legal battle for 17 months. Now Australian Customs has admitted that they made a mistake, apologized to Parry and paid him 100,000 Dollars.
You know who got the money? Parry said most of it will go for the legal expenses incurred to prove his innocence!
