Police arrested Ashley Huff, 23, during a traffic stop in Gainesville, Georgia on July 2 when they found a spoon with a "suspicious residue" in her vehicle. Despite Huff demanding that it was just SpaghettiOs sauce, officers believed it was meth. "Nobody believed me," Huff explained. 

The officer found it odd that she ate SpaghettiOs with a metal spoon while riding in a car. Huff was arrested and ordered to seek drug counseling while awaiting results. When she missed some of her appointments, she was jailed from August 2 to September 18.

Huff was released, only after lab results showed the residue was, in fact, spaghetti sauce. During her time in jail, Huff missed her kids' birthdays and lost her job at Waffle House. She is now considering legal action.
