A Florida Man was pulled over by the fuzz, who found a bag of powder on him.

After being caught with a bag of heroin, a drug suspect told cops that his family "sent it to him from Guatemala and that he thought it was chili powder," according to an arrest report.

Police say that Daniel Ascencio Barrera, 34, was pulled over Thursday evening as he drove in Clearwater, Florida. Ascencio Barrera was initially arrested for driving with a permanently revoked license.

During a subsequent search of Ascencio Barrera's car, cops found a "large clear bag" containing a 29.7 gram mixture that field tested positive for heroin.

After being read his Miranda rights, Ascencio Barrera reportedly "stated that his family sent it to him from Guatemala and that he thought it was chili powder."

Maybe he would've had better luck if he had said it was oregano.
