Straight out of a stoner comedy—a man's effort to ditch some drugs from a moving car in western New York didn't exactly go as planned. Sean Schmidt, 20, was standing with his upper body sticking out the sunroof of a vehicle traveling on I-190 in Buffalo late Monday night, troopers said.

Troopers say Schmidt was ticketed for marijuana possession and not wearing a seatbelt. (More marijuana stories.)
