Officers seize bag with ‘Definitely not a bag full of drugs’ printed on it – and it was full of drugs

Question

On October 10th, 2024, the Oregonian published an article about how on October 8th, the Portland Police pulled over a car and found scales, money, a loaded gun, and a bag that said "Definitely not a bag of drugs" with drugs inside of it. In the article, they include a picture of everything found. The author states that the Oregonian received an email directly from the Portland Police spokesperson featuring details about the case. There is also a tweet from the Portland Police to back this story up. Due to the mountain of evidence, it's safe to say that this story is true.

Answer 1

I would say it's correct Reynolds was arrested and faces the charges claimed in the article. You can access the basic court records online. It also appears the bag may be an earlier edition of this accessory bag by LookHUMAN (or a knockoff).

I appreciate how you took time to research the court records. However when I click on the court records link it brings up a page stating "The displayed information is not the official ORS 7.020 register record, and, therefore, should not be relied upon as an official record of the court." I don't believe it's a reliable source. However I agree it's an earlier edition of the accessory bag by lookHUMAN.

Although I agree with your stance on the topic, I think you could have provided more evidence and description of the claim to further prove its truth. You could have written out some of the evidence instead of just linking it, but the links provided were good sources.

I agree with your corroboration of the claim and its evidence. However, the link you provided of the court records is not able to be used as an official record, "The displayed information is not the official ORS 7.020 register record, and, therefore, should not be relied upon as an official record of the court." There is also little to no information on the case based of this site which makes it generally unreliable.

Answer 2

You are correct, Portland Police Officers pulled someone over for a stolen vehicle and found a bag that had said in front of it “Not a bag full of drugs”, checking the bag out he realized there were indeed drugs in the bag. The 35 year old Reginald Lamont Reynolds is facing charges mentioned in the article. This claim came originally from an X post from The Portland Police.
