SPRINGFIELD, Missouri (PIX11)—
Its a story you will most likely find under the category of "brilliantly ridiculous."

A Missouri woman was arrested this week after she called 911 to report that her drug dealer stiffed her by giving her sugar instead of the crack cocaine she paid for.

47-year-old Suzanne Basham of Springfield told local authorities she paid $40 for the bogus drugs and wanted them to arrest her dealer, as well as get her money back, The Smoking Gun reported.

Officers reportedly responded to the home of the alleged dealer where they were denied access. Residents there denied selling drugs and refused to let the cops in.

During an apparent investigation, officers found a crack pipe in Basham's possession and issued a summons for drug paraphernalia, in turn making the Missouri woman brilliantly ridiculous.
