Drug tests exonerate punk rocker
Don Bolles, arrested in Newport Beach on suspicion of possessing a
date-rape drug, is freed after analysis shows it was only soap.
By Roy Rivenburg
Times Staff Writer

April 17, 2007

It was soap, not dope.

That's the verdict from additional testing of the peppermint-scented
liquid that got punk rocker Don Bolles arrested on drug charges this
month.

Bolles, 50, the legendary drummer for the Germs, spent three days in
jail after Newport Beach police said they found GHB, the date-rape
drug, inside a bottle of Dr. Bronner's Magic Soap in Bolles' 1968
Dodge van.

Police ran a field test on the yellowish goop after stopping Bolles
for a broken taillight on April 4.

But a more sophisticated analysis by the Orange County Sheriff's
Department crime lab detected no GHB in the soap, officials said
Monday. As a result, all charges against Bolles will be dismissed, a
spokeswoman for the Orange County district attorney's office said.

Meanwhile, the makers of Dr. Bronner's announced that other liquid
soaps, including Neutrogena and Tom's of Maine, also can mistakenly
register positive for GHB with the field test kit used by Newport
Beach police.

Bronner's officials said they experimented with the ODV-brand
NarcoPouch 928 test kit and various soaps over the weekend and would
post a video of the results on their website next week.

"Police departments nationwide should immediately stop using the ODV
field test for GHB," Bronner's president David Bronner said.

A spokesman for Armor Forensics, which manufactures the ODV test, said
he wasn't familiar with the kit and couldn't immediately comment.

Bolles rose to fame in the late 1970s when he joined the pioneering
L.A. punk band the Germs, a group credited with influencing
generations of musicians and popularizing Mohawk haircuts.

The Germs dissolved in 1980 after 22-year-old singer Darby Crash
committed suicide. Surviving members reunited in 2005 and plan to tour
this summer.

Bolles, a Huntington Park resident whose real name is Jimmy Michael
Giorsetti, took his stage name from an Arizona investigative
journalist who was killed by a car bomb in 1976.

The drummer said he and his girlfriend, musician Cat Scandal, were
driving to an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting when Newport Beach police
pulled over his van. Bolles said he always carries Dr. Bronner's
organic soap, which he said helps keep his skin like that of a 15-year-
old girl.

Bolles didn't return calls seeking comment Monday.

Thanks for enlightening me. I really felt that this was just another
obvious plot by the hideous Liberals to frame the Dod and Bush for
fascist false convictions and widespread locking up of terroristic
people who bathe.

If Germs were involved, have we finally found the missing WMD?

Well, those Germs were very short lived and didn't spread all that far.

What an incredibly chaotic band in a live situation. Their record G.I. (produced
by Joan Jett) is pretty damn good, though.

No problem! He spent 3 days in jail over a known problem with the
test. Wanna bet the cops didn't know about the problem? I bet he gets
a snide apology at best.

I'll bet that most of them don't. Cops can be amazingly ignorant. And they can
be willfully ignorant when convenient. He won't get any apology. The lawyers
have taught the cops to not do that.
