It’s ‘fake meth,’ man tells deputy

42-year-old pulled over with suspended license, flat tire

A man arrested for driving with a suspended license told a Spokane County sheriff’s deputy a bag of white crystals was “fake meth.” Thomas Kammers, 42, is being held in the Spokane County Jail on a $5,000 bond after he was pulled over Monday afternoon near North Stevens Street and West Houston Avenue. A Sheriff’s Office news release said a deputy “observed a 1992 Honda traveling on a completely flat tire” with license plates that expired in September 2014. The deputy stopped the car and arrested Kammers, who had a plastic bag on him. Not believing the fake-meth story, the deputy field-tested the crystals for methamphetamine. They tested positive. Kammers faces charges for possession and driving with a suspended license.
