Investigators said they search Muselier’s car and found LSD and several packages of THC-laced edibles. Many of the items were made to look like normal snack foods — Cheetos, Doritos and Ruffles chips — but some also bore names like “Trips Ahoy” and “Cannaburst.” All of the packages were marked as containing THC, the psychoactive chemical in marijuana.
According to the sheriff’s office’s post, Mustelier was already wanted on several warrants out of Orange County for attempted kidnapping, battery by strangulation, trespassing on a construction site and resisting arrest.
He now also faces charges of drug possession and obstruction of justice without violence.
“He took the #WrongExit earning himself a ‘trips ahoy’ to the Martin County Jail,” the sheriff’s office wrote on Facebook.
Mustelier is being held without bond.
