If the actual facts are as stated I hope the civil court judge throws the book at those responsible. There should also be some criminal charges. Why did it take three months to test the drugs to let here go. Why did not investigate the candy to see where it originated from. Should not have been that hard to run down the source of the cotton candy.

(CNN)A Georgia woman spent three months in jail after two deputies said a field test of a blue substance found in a car she was in turned up positive for methamphetamine.
But it wasn't meth. It was cotton candy.
Dasha Fincher claims that while she was in jail she missed several major life events, including the birth of twin grandchildren, and was refused medical care for a broken hand and ovarian cyst.
Now she's filed a lawsuit against Monroe County and the three officers involved for wrongful imprisonment and violating her civil rights. The lawsuit also targets Sirchie Acquisition Company, the maker of the field kit the deputies used to produce the mistaken test result.
A traffic stop turned into a drug charge
According to the lawsuit, Fincher was a passenger in a car that was pulled over by two Monroe County Sheriff's deputies on December 31, 2016.
