Drunk Driver Calls Cops to Report Stolen Weed

Man sought help in tracking down another intoxicant

(Newser) – A 21-year-old Oregon man called police to report that ¾ of an ounce of marijuana had been stolen from his car while he was drinking in a bar. After waiting for deputies, he began driving—despite being drunk—and called 911 again to complain. Dispatchers found him difficult to understand, though, because he kept pausing to vomit. When police found the man, he told them he was looking for the people who stole his “weed.” They arrested him for driving under the influence, the Statesman Journal reports.

Ah, but he was drunk and not high at the time, so technically he made the drinkers look like morons. :D

Agree. His stoopids are hard-wired. They'll come out regardless of his poison. He has given us a good belly laugh, though.

no way, weed should be legal, and cops should help defend people who use it.
