A man had an unusual explanation when BART police found him holding cocaine baggies while passed out on a train: He said he sprinkled it on his marijuana, authorities say. Eddie Maldon III, 27, of Antioch could stick with that defense when he goes to trial in June in connection with the incident last fall. Prosecutors say he is a seasoned offender with multiple convictions for drug sales. It all began about 1:45 a.m. Nov. 8 when Maldon was found passed out on a BART train as it reached its last destination, San Francisco International Airport, said San Mateo County District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.
The train operator tried unsuccessfully to rouse Maldon and called BART police. Officers responded and discovered that Maldon was holding a bag with 12 individually wrapped baggies of powder cocaine, Wagstaffe said. He also had $294, authorities said. Paramedics had to use an ammonia inhalant to wake him up, authorities said. Officers arrested him, and he told them that the cocaine was for “personal use” and that he “liked to sprinkle it on his marijuana,” Wagstaffe said. Maldon is scheduled to appear in Superior Court on Monday for a pretrial conference before his trial date in June. He is free in lieu of $35,000 bail.
