BOYNTON BEACH, FL--Calvin Wallace must have some very expensive pork chops.

When he was arrested early today and charged with drug trafficking for allegedly having 54.3 grams of MDMA, used to make the drug ecstasy, he told officers it was "flour for my porkchops."

According to Wallace's arrest report:

Police tried to pull over Wallace's 2008 PT Cruiser about 1 a.m. at Northwest Ninth Court and First Street, but he kept going. He eventually stopped at Northwest Seventh Court and Sixth Avenue and tried to get out via the passenger's side of the car.

An officer pulled out his stun gun and ordered Wallace to put his hands outside the car, but he cursed at officers instead. Wallace resisted some more, and was stunned three times before officers could cuff him.

A search found a plastic bag Wallace dropped containing the MDMA. Officers tested it, and it wasn't flour.

Wallace, 49, of Boynton Beach, also was charged with felony fleeing and eluding and resisting arrest without violence.
