Grand Forks Man Accused of Stealing His Own Urine Sample

GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) — A Grand Forks man is accused of twice breaking into a Grand Forks County office to steal his own urine sample and drug testing equipment to avoid having to take another test.

The Grand Forks Herald reports that 19-year-old Benjamin Gordon Ewing was arraigned Thursday.

Police say he made a third attempt to break into the Community Service and Restitution Office after testing positive for cocaine, but was thwarted by a janitor.

Ewing was out on bond after being charged with three felony drug counts in April, but needed to submit to regular drug tests as a condition of his release.
