ÒAll three were arrested before we searched the car and I noticed the back seat was loose, so I took it apart and found all the drugs there.Ó Mays said. ÒThe labels on prescription bottles had Florida labels on them, but it was easy to see that they were forged labels that had been made on a home computer.Ó
