(OLATHE, Kan.) — An Olathe college student finds herself at the police station after ordering a textbook from a popular website.

Sophia Stockton says she was flipping through the pages when a clear plastic bag fell out. The junior took the book and bag to the Gardner police station after class on Monday and was surprised at what authorities found.

"He put some gloves on and put it in a plastic bag, he took it back to test it and like 10 minutes later he came back and said, 'Did you happen to order some cocaine with your textbook?'"

Stockton ordered the book from Amazon.com. Stockton said the used Understanding Terrorism: Challenges, Perspectives, and Issues book came entirely wrapped up in the mail, directly from Amazon.

Gardner police destroyed the cocaine. Amazon has not commented on the incident.

Stockton is a student at MidAmerica Nazarene University.
