Offer bitna i ansiktet – man gripen efter dådet 2016-05-26

In May 2012, the nation first caught wind of "bath salts" thanks to the "Miami Cannibal" attack. In the hours after Rudy Eugene chewed the face off homeless man Ronald Poppo near the MacArthur Causeway and was fatally shot by cops, a Miami Police spokesman speculated that the synthetic drug might have driven Eugene's madness.

The only problem is that bath salts were never found in Eugene's body in any postmortem exams

"Young people still associate bath salts with cannibalism," Michael Baumann, head of the Designer Drug Research Unit at the National Institute on Drug Abuse, tells Riptide, "despite the fact that there's no truth to the Miami Cannibal's connection to bath salts."

En följetong hos polisen

Den 28-åriga våldsverkaren från Vadstena är högst välkänd av polisen.

– Han har tidigare gjort många våldsbrott, säger polisens vakthavande befäl Torbjörn Lindqvist.

Det rör sig om både misshandel och våld mot tjänsteman där narkotika varit inblandat.

– Vi vet inte om det är droger och andra berusningsmedel som bidrar till hans våldsamhet eller om han har någon sjukdomsbild, säger Torbjörn Lindqvist.

Bath salts is a term used in North America to describe a number of recreational designer drugs.[1][2] The name derives from instances in which the drugs were sold disguised as true bath salts.[3][4][5] The white powder, granules, or crystals often resemble true bath salts such as Epsom salts, but are very different chemically. The drugs' packaging often states "not for human consumption" in an attempt to circumvent drug prohibition laws.[3]
