A Joint Under Surveillance
Columbia, SC
Don’t smoke pot in front of a building under investigation for illegal drug activities. On June 18, while police were conducting an undercover surveillance mission of a Colleton Street apartment building, an officer noticed two people apparently smoking marijuana, toking on a joint in plain view of the public. A third person was hanging out with the bud smokers but not indulging in the Mary Jane.
The cops approached and said they were investigating illegal drug activity. The smokers then called one of the officers by name and said, “We aren’t selling drugs. Now we are smoking weed, we are not going to lie about that but that’s all we are doing.†The police attempted to locate the joint but had no luck and questioned the three about it. Perhaps victims of pot smokers’ memory loss, they told the police they did not recall what happened to it. All three were arrested and charged with loitering for narcotics.

LOL - I love reading the idiotic responses that police listen to on a daily basis!
“I haven’t been drinking.”
“My daughter’s in trouble.”
“I can’t remember what I did with that joint.” That’s really funny because I always remembered where I put it.

Absolutely no sense of humor. Maybe the cops weren’t happy that they couldn’t share.

Yes, gd, but it’s always best to play dumb with cops, they have a habit of screwing people over for being honest…

Guilt by association. Either that or the cheap SOB was trying to get a buzz off the second hand smoke.
