Kentucky Man Arrested For Stealing His Own Urine Sample

Kentucky Man On Probation For Drunk Driving Steals His Own Urine Sample

Tyler Akins was arrested in March, 2015 for driving whilst drunk, and as part of his probation agreement, he was required to mail in urine samples to the court system. The samples were to be mailed via FedEx or UPS so the courts can see if the man was using drugs while on probation. If Mr. Akins did cocaine or pills, which are only detectable in urine for a few days, he would be good to go, providing he could stop using those drugs for a week before sending in his urine sample. But, apparently Tyler Akins isn't capable of controlling himself, and he previously failed urine screens for opiates, morphine, and heroin.

The Kentucky Man has been charged with tampering with evidence and criminal simulation, whatever that is, because he stole his own urine sample from a court drop box. You have to give him some credit for being proactive about his unfortunate situation. It's safe to say that Mr. Akins will now have to face some jail time for his bad decision.

If you're going to mail in a urine sample as part of your probation agreement, you should lay off the drugs in the week prior to mailing it in. Or, better yet, get somebody else to pee in the cup for you if you can't lay off the drugs.
