A North Carolina man faces two charges after being arrested on suspicion of trying to sell crushed Pop-Tarts—as crack cocaine, a TV station's website reported.

While making deliveries to convenience stores on June 19, 30-year-old Cameron Mitchell tried to pass off the snack crumbs as cocaine in a $20 sale to an undercover cop, deputies said, according to WITN.com of Greenville, North Carolina.
