The two men have similar attributes. Pseudoephedrine is one of the main ingredients in the manufacture of methamphetamine.

Court records indicate Foster displayed Bennett’s license while signing for pseudoephedrine on four separate occasions between June 15 and Dec. 29, 2012, at a Fulton County pharmacy.
