Never Trust A Roach
January 30th, 2009 by Silvio
Public employee Donald Brown, of Highland Hills, is probably wondering how he has the worst luck in America. He’s also probably wondering, “What the hell was I thinking?!”
Here’s what happened: On a Thursday morning, two Ohio police officers smelled the delicious odor of marijuana outside Donald’s apartment. After a closer look, our stoned friend was charged with possession. We don’t know how much he was holding, but my guess is it was for personal use.
This whole thing must have upset Donald, because the first thing he did was get stoned again. Except he did it while driving. And, of course, got pulled over. This is when he pulled out a great line by telling the officers he was fine to drive, since he “only had a roach”.
Being cops, they were skeptical of Donald’s statement, so his word was put to the test. By test, I mean a field sobriety test, which he promptly failed.
The two officers didn’t mind that much, apologized for their mistake (since it was only one joint), and sent Donald on his merry way. The two officers then arrested Donald, for the second time this day, except with a more serious charge of driving under the influence.
Nice work Donald. A day to remember.
Australian Man Fights Law, Law Wins
January 30th, 2009 by Perry
During a graduation ceremony filled with Adelaide’s highest ranking police officers, a man from down under deployed an ill-conceived plan to anger law enforcement.
The Australian reports that police saw the man doing burnouts around 10:30 a.m., at which point he was pulled over and cautioned. When the same guy was seen peeling out during the ceremony a short time thereafter, officers intervened and arrested him.
Apparently in Australia, committing a crime also gives authorities permission to visit the perpetrator’s residence, because that’s what they did, and due to the resulting search, added cultivation of three marijuana plants to his charges.
It’s always a good idea to be familiar with local arrest laws if you plan on doing something incredibly stupid. This plan was doomed from the start.
Don’t Deposit Dank Dollars
January 29th, 2009 by Alex
Not too long after 18-year old Spokane resident Daniel Obannon deposited $2,300 in some weed-stinky bills, his house received a courtesy call from two sheriff’s deputies.
It turns out that bank employees do have noses, and also the ability to detect money that reeks like pot. Combine the two and you end up with those same employees calling the sheriff’s office to alert them of possible criminal activity.
Sheriff’s showed up to Daniel Obannon’s house to find his brother, Shawn, at home. He denied them entry, but the law returned with a search warrant after attesting to the odor of fresh marijuana emanating from the house.
Once inside, the deputies found about two pounds of weed, 20 starter plants and a bag of 50 hydrocodone pills (that last one is a big no-no). The brother’s $2300 deposit was confiscated and Shawn was arrested on charges of Possession of Marijuana with Intent to Deliver. Daniel never went home, his brother probably tipped him off after the initial sheriff’s visit, so he is now wanted for the same charge as his brother with an additional felony for those pesky hydrocodone pills.
I’m pretty sure there’s a lesson to be learned here. Who knows it?
Meth Addict Builds Lab at Funeral Home
January 12th, 2009 by Perry
In a move that can only be made by someone surrounded by dead people, 43 year old Robert Lee Lewis was recently arrested in Arkansas for trying to convert the basement of the Walnut Ridge Funeral Home into a meth lab. A detective who works out of the local sheriff’s department, next door to the funeral home, saw a light on in the basement after hours and went to investigate.
When he walked over to check it out, he realized he was looking at a meth lab “to be” that was only hours away from being up and running. When Lewis returned to his place of employment, he was arrested in connection to the drug paraphernalia.
As far as ideal meth lab locations, I’d choose the scenic woods of Oregon, fresh air and not within spitting distance of the law.
December’s Dumbass of the Month
December 3rd, 2008 by PerryWhat did Vaswan Polty do to earn such a dubious distinction?
Polty was not only such a moron that he coaxed a 2-year old and 4-year old nephew to smoke weed, (yes, you read that right) he also filmed it with the kids’ father.
As icing on the cake, Polty left a tape of the incident lying around which was found while his house was searched in a separate robbery investigation. Talk about a stand up dude.
Once police brought the children into protective custody, it was discovered the youngsters had marijuana and cocaine traces in their systems.
This all went down in 2007, but since Polty just got sentenced for up to 7 years in prison on 2 counts of causing injury to a child, and 3 seperate burglary charges.
Don’t worry, the other idiot involved in this case, Demetris McCoy, got sentenced to 8 years. Good times all around, and welcome to the Dumbass tag on theFreshScent.
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…
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.

Stoners in the Mist = Original
April 22nd, 2008 by Alex
Somewhere in the afterlife, Steve Irwin is crying. Why? Because ever since his Crocodile Hunter persona became popular, unoriginal people have been ripping it off. Unfortunately, the worst version I’ve ever seen has just surfaced.
CelebStoner, and a few other sources, tipped me off to one of the stupidest anti-drug campaigns in existence. I say ‘one of’ because after doing posts like these, it’s hard to be surprised anymore.
Suffice to say, this latest PSA plays on all of the weed smoker stereotypes that have been debunked again and again: lazy, no activities, no intelligence, unsuccessful, etc… It’s like getting the same shitty tasting sandwich wrapped in sparkling new packaging, the contents are still rotten.
If you want to waste some time, check out the Stoners in the Mist campaign. I suggest watching it while high, it’s extremely amusing.
