Title: Man Arrested After Reporting Someone Stole His Weed Post by: Metropolisforever on November 08, 2007, 11:08:01 AM Talk about DUMB. :lookingup:
Quote A man was arrested for drug possession after telling authorities that two masked gunmen had stolen 150 pounds of marijuana from his home. Hidalgo County sheriff's deputies arrived at the home near Penitas in South Texas to find the door kicked in and nearly 15 pounds of pot lying on the floor, Sheriff Lupe Trevino said. Jose Guadalupe Flores, 35, escaped while the men ransacked the house but returned later and told the deputies he had been wrapping the drugs for shipment when the intruders arrived. "The guy walked right up and said the drugs were his," Trevino said. "That's not the smartest move." Flores, an illegal immigrant from Mexico, was charged with felony possession of marijuana at an arraignment hearing Monday. Because of his immigration status, Flores will be jailed until his case is heard. Authorities were still searching for the gunmen. http://www.heraldonline.com/wire/weird/story/161125.html [insert smilies/emoticons into this post] [insert more into this post] Title: Re: Man Arrested After Reporting Someone Stole His Weed Post by: AndyC on November 10, 2007, 06:46:55 AM Reminds me of a court case I wrote about a couple of weeks ago. The guy was basically caught driving an unplated ATV without his relevant identification on him. So he took police back to where he was staying, in order to get his wallet. When they arrived, there was a bong and a bag of weed sitting right there in the open.
He didn't find his wallet, so he took the cops out to his car, where he believed the wallet to be in the centre console. They opened the console and found a bag of weed and some hash. There was another one a few months ago that was pretty funny too. In that case, it was a police report on an arrest they'd made over the weekend. Somebody thought it would be funny to call Canada Customs and Revenue, and demand that they return the marijuana they took from him or there would be a repeat of 9-11. Well, they don't have quite the same sense of humour at customs. Shortly after, the cops were knocking on his door. |
