Woman slips out of handcuffs, eats pot evidence

BREVARD COUNTY, FL (KTRK) -- A woman in central Florida is facing serious charges after police say she was caught with a bag of marijuana and then ate the evidence.

You can see it all on the cop car's camera.

Tavish Smith was laughing during her entire arrest, but police say this was no laughing matter. Smith was arrested after crashing her truck driving down the wrong way down a busy freeway.

Smith was giggling and managed to wiggle out of her handcuffs. She then reaches into the front seat and steals the sandwich bag of marijuana the trooper found in her car. She was busted after the trooper noticed she'd slipped out of her cuffs.

By this point, Smith wasn't laughing anymore. Her misdemeanor charges for minor hit-and-run dui and drug possession were bumped up to a felony for eating the evidence.
