The circumstances behind Allen’s arrest are unknown, although John F. Wukovits’ book Tim Allen (Overcoming Adversity), in which Allen is profiled, claims that Allen was set up by Michael Pifer, an undercover police officer who supposedly had been stalking the aspiring drug dealer for months.
His book alleges that Allen accidentally delivered the officer the brown Adidas gym bag with the cocaine when he should have received the anticipated $42,000 and was instead detained.
