Miss Louisiana Teen USA Arrested for Being Dumb
October 22nd, 2008 by Alex
Oh the ole’ dine & dash routine. Miss Louisiana Teen USA Lindsey Evans, for all of her good looks, has no future as a master criminal.
The cajun beauty queen left her purse, weed bag (in the purse) and a $46 bill behind when she and her friends ditched out on a meal. Evans, to her credit, left her portion of the check on the table, but foiled the getaway for her friends when she went back to the restaurant for her purse and the police were still there. D’oh!
A crucial step in the ‘dash’ part is to actually take your personal belongings along. Cops can be slow, but with your ID they might just be able to make a collar.
It doesn’t matter much if she loses her crown, as the next Miss Louisiana will be chosen next month anyway…

Third Grader Arrested on Suspicion-Based Drug Testing Policy
October 21st, 2008 by Alex
This is some troubling shit.
A third grader at Muldown Elementary School was one of the first students arrested in the school district’s new suspicion-based drug testing policy. At first glance, I thought this was going to be another case of drug prevention gone wrong… until I read the article.
This 3rd grader smoked pot in the bathroom of his elementary school, asked classmates if they wanted to smoke, and finally confessed after being confronted with his ditched pipe. Considering the confession was “reasonable suspicion,” he was tested and suspended for 3 days.
The odd thing is, after the reasonable suspicion exists, parents aren’t required to give consent for drug tests on a child - the schoolboard can go ahead no matter what.
I don’t know whether to be surprised or depressed about 3rd graders smoking weed in school. In my opinion, it seems more than ridiculous that an elementary school needs a drug testing policy, but that’s just a sad statement on current society.
Instead, I think it’s time to recommend a suspicion-based parent sterilization program, but that’s just me.
Scarface Would Be Proud

The Mexican government is at it again, except this time, they’re the ones kicking ass.
Arrested at a lavish mansion, which even contains a private zoo, this group of drug traffickers doesn’t look too happy. Police seized guns and drugs from over a dozen people, including Colombians, Uruguayans and even an American citizen.
The crazy part is, I thought shit like this only happens in Scarface and other movies. Check out the mansion and you’ll see hand-carved walls, a lavish backyard and even a white tiger.
I bet they threw some bad ass parties though. Just don’t be that guy. You know, the one who gets all coked out and try and pet the tiger.

Erratic Driving and Mobile Greenhouse Do Not Mix
October 20th, 2008 by Perry
Word to the wise. If you’re going to drive erratically, make sure you unload the plants and grow kit you’re storing in the back of your vehicle.
How dumb is this guy? Well, this excerpt here sums it up pretty well:
Police arrested Jarrick M. Franc, 36, at 10:17 p.m. Saturday after an officer witnessed Franc nearly hit a parked car while traveling at a high rate of speed near Rockford Avenue and Augusta Street, police said. The officer pulled over Franc and noticed several large plants occupying the cargo area of the van that Franc was driving. There was a distinct smell of marijuana, the report states.
Apparently, you can’t just drive around in a moving greenhouse anymore? I’m sorry, I thought this was America.
The Bust Counter Reaches 20,000,000
October 10th, 2008 by Perry
According to government statistics, by Friday Uncle Sam will have arrested 20 million Americans for marijuana use. And there’s no sign those numbers will slow down any time soon.
But don’t take it from me, take it from NORML executive director Allen St. Pierre:
This policy is a tremendous waste of taxpayers’ resources; it destroys the lives of millions of otherwise law-abiding citizens, and threatens the personal liberties and freedoms of all Americans. We’ve now arrested more American citizens for pot than the entire population of Massachusetts, Michigan, and Oregon combined.
Wow.
Music Teacher with Pot Passes Out in School Parking Lot
October 2nd, 2008 by Perry
Oh man, you almost have to feel sorry for this guy. First of all, he probably works at the high school he attended in small town Virginia. And his career is probably over. And he’s living in his car? Or just got high and passed out.
Either way, probably want to find a better spot next time before you get caught in the school parking lot with weed on you.
Pot Is Not an Accepted Currency in Vegas
September 17th, 2008 by AlexThis one’s a little old, July of ‘08, but damn if it isn’t the leading candidate for Dumbass of the Month.
This homeboy has an ounce of herb in his pockets, and instead of using cash money, he decides to drop some nugs on the table as a wager. Even better, he realizes he’s over-bet, and then takes back some buds and arranges a neat little pile over the betting area. Genius.
Not surprisingly, he was arrested in minutes… dumbass.

You in Here for Some Marijuana? Marijuana?!
September 16th, 2008 by Perry
The FBI released annual crime statistics that counted 872,721 Americans arrested for marijuana possession in 2007. Almost 90 percent of the cases were simple possession. Even more astounding, 12 of the most populous states have medicinal marijuana laws, some where you can’t be arrested for possession.
The good folks at NORML (National Organization to Reform Marijuana Laws) put down the pipe long enough to do some pretty amazing calculations. The total number represents a five percent increase, from last year, and works out to about one pot smoker arrested every thirty-seven seconds.
