Just as good as cash!

In these troubled economic times, customers don't always have cash on hand, so the enterprising salesman sometimes has to make other arrangements. Case in point:

Anthony Delmar Anderson, 38, of 1927 Cain Drive was arrested after a search warrant was executed at his residence.

“He had been selling crack cocaine and prescription drugs,” said Capt. Marty Bruce. “Officers found 2 grams of crack cocaine, 11 Xanax pills, $899 in cash and $175 in department store gift cards.”

Bruce said Anderson was accepting the gift cards in exchange for crack cocaine.

It would have been more thoughtful if the crackheads had given him something that they made themselves, but I guess he's not picky.
