Florida judge surprised by defendant's last name -- "Cocaine"

Fittingly, and amusingly, the gentleman was arraigned on drug charges:

The judge did a double-take and there were giggles aplenty in bond court Wednesday when a bailiff announced the name of a man arrested for drug possession: Edward Cocaine.

"What?" uttered a stunned County Judge John "Jay" Hurley.

"My last name is Cocaine," proudly stated the man at the podium. His name was indeed legal and inscribed on his driver's license.

"You know, I'd thought I'd seen it all," Hurley laughed, shaking his head. "How many times have the police told you to step out of the car during your life?"

"Just about every time I get pulled over," a chuckling Cocaine admitted.

Sounds like a good-natured judge. I trust him to deliver justice, despite this man's unfortunate surname.  You can read the original article here
