Excerpts from Martin County Sheriff’s Office report
INDIANTOWN — Donald Trump’s name is on everything from skyscrapers to golf resorts.
In Martin County on March 5, sheriff’s deputies spotted it in a less posh place — on a pill of the illegal drug MDMA, according to a recently-released report.
Deputies reported stopping a Hyundai sedan at Southwest Trail Drive and Southwest Warfield Boulevard. Investigators said the vehicle had been traveling 72 mph in a 55 mph zone.

The driver and passenger, both 27, said they were going to a music festival in Okeechobee County. Deputies said the Hyundai smelled of marijuana, also known as weed, trees, pot, ganja, chronic, cheeba, reefer, jolly green, dope, bud, spliff, grass, herb and myriad other terms.
Deputies reported finding various drugs, including alprazolam, cathinone and marijuana.
Among the items investigators linked to the driver, a Miami resident, was a pill with “TRUMP” on one side and President Donald Trump’s face on the other.
The driver “originally stated it was a Flintstones vitamin, but later admitted it was possibly MDMA,” a report states.

Deputies tested the Trump tablet and “it field tested positive.”
Perhaps it was an effort to make illegal drugs great again?
Deputies reported also finding small bags in the driver’s wallet which had what he said was cocaine residue.
The driver and passenger were arrested and taken to the Martin County Jail.
