Despite what Jeremy London’s wife said she was told by police, there is NOT a rash of crooks robbing people, putting guns to their heads and forcing them to smoke drugs.
RadarOnline.com contacted law enforcement officials in Palm Springs, California after Melissa London backed up her husband’s fantastical tale that he was robbed, held at gun point and forced to ‘smoke drugs.”

Melissa told RadarOnline.com in an exclusive interview: “Police told us this is the new thing to do down here... rob people at gunpoint and make them do drugs so they won’t be reliable witnesses. It’s happening more and more.”
But police contacted by RadarOnline.com say that’s not true.

Detective Steve Douglas of Palm Springs police department said he wasn’t aware of any such incidents. He said: "There haven’t been any incidents that I can recall, of gang members kidnapping tourists with flat tires and then forcing them to do drugs."
And Palm Springs Watch Commander Sergeant Cabrara said: “We have not had a rash of them - they are not commonplace here in Palm Springs.

“Although we have crime just like anywhere else we believe that Palm Springs is a safe place to visit.
“However, I do not want to talk about specifics in this particular case.”
But both London and his wife are sticking to their story which has sent shockwaves through the desert tourist-spot and left one man behind bars and police searching for two other suspects.
“This is real. Jeremy’s still in shock. He was very scared,” Melissa told RadarOnline.com in an exclusive video interview. “People don’t understand that police only have one of the guys in custody. There are still two suspects out there. We’re very scared.”
