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.
One Less Reason to Go to Kansas
September 16th, 2008 by Perry
I can only imagine the anguish you would feel if you spent the last few months of your life cultivating crops, only to have federales come (when you’re finally ready to enjoy the fruits of your labor,) seize your shit and arrest you. And then to top it off, find out afterwards they’d been watching you on camera the whole time? Bastards.
Oh and this is the best part. The only thing this newly implemented, outdoor camera operation has really done is move operations indoors, consequently improving horticultural methodology to create stronger strains of marijuana.
Well played, Government. Brilliant.
Dumbass Gets DUI on Horseback
April 4th, 2007 by Alex
Melissa Byrum York, a drunk redneck Sylvania, Alabama resident, was charged with a DUI for riding her horse while intoxicated.
After riding in traffic and causing cars to avoid her, police were called into the equation. Feeling like there was more to be done, Melissa decided to evade police capture in style by ramming the police car with her horse while trying to escape.
Too bad she got her feet caught in the stirrups while trying to jump off the horse and run. Eh, not so smooth.
After being cuffed and searched, police found some of that magical riding powder known as crystal meth accompanied by some weed, pills and a pipe.
What a surprise that someone out drunkenly riding a horse in the middle of the night through city streets might have a small drug and a large reasoning problem.
Congratulation Melissa, you’re our first Official Dumbass of the Month.

Don’t Fuck with John Popper
March 9th, 2007 by Alex
John Popper and his pal Brian Gourgeois were arrested in Washington state for driving 111 mph.
Ok, people speed, fair enough. Then they found that John likes to partake in marijuana, as they found a small amount of pot and a pipe in his car. Then they found out that John likes to shoot things, is afraid of an upcoming apocalypse and perhaps likes to hunt humans at night.
It’s cool to collect guns, but bringing enough fire power to arm a Ugandan warlord might just be pushing the envelope. When police officers had a drug dog search his SUV, they found:
- 4 rifles
- 9 handguns
- 1 switchblade
- 1 taser
- 1 pair of nightvision goggles
- flashing emergency headlights
- a siren
- a public address system
John informed police that he installed all of these items into his car in preparation for a natural disaster.
I don’t know what sort of natural disasters strike Washington state, but usually things like emergency rations, communications equipment, candles, generators and clothing are what people stockpile. Not rifles, tasers and nightvision goggles.
John’s car was impounded and the Washington state police are charging him with misdemeanors. Perhaps he’s giving them the “Run Around?”

Avoid Hitting State Patrol Cars @ 70mph
March 8th, 2007 by Alex
It’s been a while since someone has straight-out qualified for our dumbass category, but this guy brings the game to a whole new level.
Instead of waiting for police to actually determine he was doing something illegal and then arrest him, the 54 year old driver (pictured above) decided to slam his Chevy Malibu into a police cruiser at 70 miles per hour.
After attending to the officer with minor injuries, police found 43 pounds of marijuana in his trunk. They also found a few smoked joints and trace amounts of cocaine. After everything was figured out, the driver was charged with possession of cocaine, driving under the influence and trafficking.
If there’s any lesson to be learned here by criminals, it has to be buy a redbull to keep yourself awake and don’t do cocaine while you’re driving. Dumbass.

Interview: Teenager who Gave Nephews Pot
March 8th, 2007 by AlexWhenever a polarizing subjects like drugs and children combine, it’s going to be a lightning rod for criticism. This video shows an uncut interview with the teenager who gave his nephews pot… and recorded it.
You can see the complete cultural opposites of an urban black youth while he’s communicating with the officer who’s doing the interview. In his mind’s eye, he hasn’t done anything horrible like pull a gun on someone or shoot them full of crystal meth, but he still hasn’t digested why people find this so offensive.
Obviously, this behavior is wrong. He knows it, he was just being a stupid kid. Everyone is to some degree, and I’m sure there are things that if you video taped them you’d be in the hot seat, but this sort of shit really puts a bad name on the mantle of pot smokers.

I wasn’t able to find another copy, so I’ve been forced to use this one. tFS doesn’t support the message of the people who generated this video, so we will not acknowledge them with a referring link. I suggest you do the same.
