SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) - Police say a Santa Fe man who thought he was buying cocaine but ended up getting soap powder drove his pickup head-on into a car in an attempt to scare the seller into giving his money back.
Authorities tell the Santa Fe New Mexican that 53-year-old Robert Trujillo began yelling that he wanted his money back after making the buy Thursday and drove around the house where he made the purchase.
Police say a woman whom Trujillo recognized from a prior fake drug sale leaving the house in a Chevrolet Cavalier, which Trujillo later drove into.
Trujillo and the five women inside the Cavalier were treated for minor injuries.
Police say Trujillo claimed to have unintentionally struck the car.
He is charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon.
