A drug charge has been dropped against a Georgia Southern quarterback after a white substance he identified as bird poop on his car’s hood tested negative for cocaine.
A Saluda County Sheriff’s Office police report said deputies pulled Shai Werts over for speeding July 31 and noticed two white spots on his car they thought were cocaine. The report says Werts told them it was bird poop he had tried to wash off. The deputies then did a field test that came back positive for cocaine and charged him with possession of the drug.
Werts’ lawyer Townes Jones IV told The Savannah Morning News more sophisticated lab testing showed the substance was not cocaine and the drug charge was dropped.

Werts, the Eagles’ starting quarterback, was suspended from the team for two days before returning to practice on Sunday.
Field tests taken by two different officers on the substances tested positive for cocaine with two different kits, in two different spots of the hood.

Two different tests done by two different officers, BOTH positive?! Firstly, how does bird shit someone tried to scrub off their hood at all resemble cocaine, and secondly, what's up with these field tests that 2 had such wrong results?
Either there's a major flaw with their test kits/collection methods, or there's birds flying around out there with powdery beaks.
