Hawaii Police Say MMJ is a Drug Front
November 20th, 2008 by Perry
Hawaiian police recently arrested seven individuals for allegedly running a drug smuggling operation, that law enforcement is saying operated under the guise of a medical marijuana organization.
The leader of the group claims the arrests are the result of a lawsuit he filed against state police. Under Hawaii state law, a physician can recommend marijuana use for a patient with a debilitating disease and allow a patient to have seven marijuana plants and up to three ounces of marijuana.
Brian Murphy filed a lawsuit in order to get money back that was seized by police, cliaming money seized in a raid was collected legally under the state’s law. Police seized 335 marijuana plants, 2,300 grams of processed marijuana, 4,830 grams of unprocessed marijuana, 32 grams of hashish, 100 marijuana-laced candies, and more than $14,000 in cash from several homes and businesses.
How to Setup Your Kid for Failure in Life
November 19th, 2008 by AlexStep 1) Name him/her after a notorious underworld figure - and don’t forget to fuck up on the spelling.
Step 2) Finished.
I mean, really. This kid shouldn’t even be on trial. His parents should be dragged before the judge and asked if they saw a crack possession charge coming when they named their bundle of joy “Dalcapone Alpaccino.”
I would pay a serious chunk of change to hear just a piece of the conversation about how Dalcapone got named…
Mom: Let’s name this thing Lucciano Pescci Denirogotti.
Dad: Nah woman, Dalcapone Alpaccino.
Mom: Nailed it!
Hmmm, I wonder if anyone else was unlucky enough to be named Dalcapone? Yep, this douche was.
Back to Dalcapone Alpaccino, his whole docket’s available online, but you shouldn’t be able to charge anyone with parents as stupid as this. No matter what he allegedly did, it’s not all his fault, he didn’t even get a fair start.
Student Busted for Dorm Grow
November 19th, 2008 by Perry
A Davis & Elkins College student is lodged in Tygart Valley Regional Jail after the Elkins Police Department searched his dorm room and found a setup for the production of marijuana. In case you were wondering, that’s West Virginia.
The police were tipped off by an anonymous letter, and then let in by a roommate, where they found: “a scale, rolling papers, baggies, several bongs and pipes in the room. Inside a blue glass, police found several germinating marijuana seeds.”
Just how sharp are police in West Virginia?
While police were at the department, a sample was taken from one of the bongs and tested with a Narcotics Analysis Reagent Kit No. 8 … and the test was positive for marijuana.
What the hell kind of scientific test do you need to determine the resin found on a bong in a room full of marijuana paraphernalia came from weed?
Boy Arrested for Delivering Fake Drugs
November 13th, 2008 by Perry
In Port St. Lucie, Florida, police arrested a local boy, 15, for pretending to sell marijuana to his friend.
The elder boy said he was going to play a trick on his friend. He said he had a bag of parsley that he was going to make his friend think was marijuana.
The 15-year old boy was arrested on a charge of possession of a counterfeit controlled substance with the intent to deliver, when he was found by police during school hours. Apparently stupidity is no longer a charge on the books in Florida.
Washington Coed Booked for Bong Smashing
November 10th, 2008 by Perry
Over the weekend, a Bellingham, WA resident who tried to help a friend that was getting arrested, intervened and got involved in all the wrong ways. Her friend was pulled over and arrested with more than 30 bags of weed packaged for sale, a scale and a couple bongs. Sensing imminent danger, like Wonder Woman, she sprung into action.
While officers were preparing to cite the driver with possession of marijuana with intent to deliver, the woman grabbed the bongs and started running.
Later after being detained, she told the officer she was trying to help her friend avoid a paraphernalia charge. It sounds to me like the classic “bong grab-n-dash” but the next time you smash someone’s bongs to try and help them, please don’t.
The friend, as it turns out, wasn’t getting charged with paraphernalia possesion. Even if he was, it wouldn’t have mattered that she smashed the bong to pieces. Additionally, if you’re over 18, which it turns out her friend was not, you can submit a request to get evidence back after a trial. Yet, since he was a minor, she just saved the officer some time by breaking the paraphernalia and got herself booked too.
Barenaked Ladies Frontman and the “Sniffy Jiffy”
October 29th, 2008 by Perry
Barenaked Ladies lead singer and guitarist Steven Page may have caught a break the way usually only the rich seem to be able to, in his recent felony drug possession case.
Per TMZ:
Page was caught with a vial of white powder back in July sitting in his apartment.
Any cocaine possession is usually a felony in New York, but Page plead down to a misdemeanor, which means if he stays out of trouble for six months it comes off his record altogether.
Del Taco Hooks it Uuuup
October 27th, 2008 by Perry
A Del Taco in Colorado has a new item on the menu, and the manager isn’t so thrilled about it. One not-so-bright fast food employee was trying to multi-task and serve more than just delicious discount tacos.
Dennis Klermund, 26, served fast food orders with extra green sauce (i.e. - pot). The only problem is he didn’t keep track of his regular customers, and accidentally treated one couple to a special combo meal.
His customers found a bag of weed with their food order, that was supposedly for a friend of Klermund’s.
Now, instead of a hook-up and some cash, Dennis got arrested for marijuana and paraphernalia possession. Looks like Dennis just got a lesson in customer satisfaction…
Cartel Leader Busted in Tijuana
October 27th, 2008 by Perry
The violence of the cartel struggle may eventually wind up being its undoing. Mexican cartel leader Eduardo Arellano Felix was recently captured after the violence became too much and someone revealed Felix’s location to law enforcement.
Felix had a $5 million reward leading for information for his arrest, after nearly 150 people (many in Felix’s organization) were killed in the last month alone.
In all, at least 57 suspected organized crime members, a majority of them believed to be part of the Arellano Felix organization, were killed in the last week, including 12 dumped in front of an elementary school Sept. 29 and eight tossed in an industrial yard Thursday.
Experts argue over whether taking down Felix as the head will actually make a difference. “Old cartels don’t seem to go away; they just seem to morph into new variants over time,” said David Shirk, director of the Trans-Border Institute at the University of San Diego. “There’s strong continuity for these organizations, dating back multiple generations of smugglers.”
