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.

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:
