Austin police recently seized crack cocaine disguised as potato chips from a man.
Kevin Ray Landry, 35, faces federal charges for intent to distribute. He was taken into custody on July 3. Police say he had approximately 10 grams of cocaine in his possession.
Police then obtained a search warrant for Landry's car where they found 168 grams of crack cocaine. The drugs were hidden in potato chip containers and shaped like wafers.
Since 1994, police have seized $50,000 from Landry in nine other incidents.
"When you go to federal prison you do all your time, you get 30 [years] you do 30 [years.] And because we've been working on this guy for so long we are going to go for the maximum we can do so that we don't have to chase him around the block again," APD Commander Harold Piatt said.
