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?
