Guy Busted With DARE Lion Stuffed With Pot, LSD, Coke
   (New York State Police)

The DARE lion "Darin" is in some trouble. To be more exact, the upstate New York man who cops charged with stuffing him full of pot, cocaine, and LSD is in some trouble. Police say Gregory Bolognese, 22, was caught Monday at a Greyhound bus station in Plattsburgh with the drug-stuffed anti-drug mascot, the Smoking Gun reports, though it's not exactly clear how or why cops caught on to him. Darin comes dressed in a black T-shirt bearing the motto "DARE To Resist Drugs and Violence." Bolognese comes charged with possession of marijuana and a controlled substance.
