SYRACUSE, N.Y. – It was a simpler sort of drug trade.

Syracuse police say a 45-year-old man offered a slaughtered pig as partial payment for a bag of crack cocaine.

They say two men were spotted making the deal on a street corner just before 8 p.m. Thursday.

Angelo Colon of Fulton was arrested on a misdemeanor drug possession charge and 42-year-old Omar Veliz faces a felony drug sale charge.

Police say Colon paid half a pig and $10 for a $50 bag of crack. Veliz told police the pig was for a celebration for a relative being released from jail.

While officers were arresting the suspects, someone took the pig.

Police don't know if the men have lawyers.

42-year-old Omar Veliz faces a felony drug sale charge.

So Omar was going to accept the pig? Thought they didn't like swine....

Omar is an Arabic name (more accurately transliterated `Umar). It means "flourishing" and was the name of one of Muhammad's companions and a noted figure in Islamic history, future Caliph Omar ibn al-Khattāb.

I'm surpised Frankie's Attorney wasn't involved somehow... I hear he's cornering the Colon market...

Yea, but he is down in southeast Asia collecting them. He did not know they have to be full sized to have any real value. He's gonna be ****ed then he gets back and find this out! :biggrinjester:
