And with the next oddball roundup, Elmo!
-Not known if what appeared to be just a routine traffic stop of a car in Barstow, California, heading out to somewhere in Chicago, and/or, maybe perhaps a planned raid of a year-long investigation at the city of Greeley, Colorado, of an alleged drug ringleader.

Quote one official from the video, while holding up an "Tickle Me Elmo" doll,
"This a toy. And in the hands of innocent people, it's just a toy. But in the hands of sinister people, it's a concealment device to smuggle methamphetamine from California to Colorado. When you picture this toy with four pounds of methamphetamine in it, it gives it a little bit of a different context."
Needless to say, should you have ever wondered what made a "Tickle Me Elmo" doll tick, and why eager parents would climb over each other just to get one this Christmas season...
