San Antonio, TX (AHN) – A Texas man is arrested on Monday after calling the cops to complain someone had stolen his stash of marijuana.
Stephen Knight, 17, called authorities and said three men broke into his apartment, hogtied him with Christmas lights, and stole some marijuana, as well as a plasma screen television.
Police arrested Knight after finding several pot plants growing under heat lamps in his apartment, four grams of harvested marijuana, and one tablet of ecstasy.
Did you go to high school with anyone like this?
Reminds me of the Redwood Record newspaper in the town of Garberville, CA – where I grew up.
They used to (still do?) document the issues surrounding “Southern Humbolt Home-grown”, and published weekly maps of where all the CAMP (Co-ordinated Anti Marijuana Program) raids had taken place – with a marijuana leaf on the regional map where each raid took place (I sh*t you not!)
My favorite story, from years ago, was of a grower taking a bale or two of weed down to the riverbar – in the back of his pickup – to make a sale to some SoCal buyers (SoCal = anything South of Ukiah). After making the deal, the grower turned his back on the buyers – to get the bale(s) out of his truck – and they whacked him over the head. He regained consiousness – but not sanity – and called the Sheriff’s office to report the assualt & theft.
Needless to say, the Deputies arrested the grower – and confiscated his pickup – since it had been used for ilicit purposes.
Runner-up was the story of a motel’s maid finding a man trussed-up in a chair, when she came to clean his room. Instead of making-up some S&M story, he admitted it was a dope-deal gone bad – and the buyers had stolen his weed. 🙂
How long until this guy becomes a poster boy for the (Un)Intelligent Design crowd? Since he obviously cannot be the result of evolution, he must have been designed 🙂
If brains were made of dynamite, then some people couldn’t blow their own nose.
I do think though, that going to the police is better then his getting a gun and taking matters into his own hands. Maybe the police should have recognized that before they jumped all over him.
