Suspect Ends Up Covered in Pot After Chase

Mon Feb 6, 8:10 PM ET



WAXAHACHIE, Texas - Wildflowers may not be the only thing sprouting up along a 15-mile stretch of Interstate 35 in Ellis County this spring.



Seeds of an illegal plant were inadvertently sown after a police officer stopped a car with no license plate light early Friday morning and smelled a strong odor of marijuana. When the officer returned to his car and called for backup, the driver drove away, Milford Police Chief Carlos Phoenix said.

As several law enforcement agencies joined the chase, the fleeing driver tore open and threw 17 to 19 bags out of his window.

"There was marijuana flying everywhere," Phoenix told the Waxahachie Daily Light.

After driving over a second set of spikes set out by authorities, the suspect finally stopped and was taken into custody, and he was "literally covered in marijuana," Phoenix said.

Officers picked up two duffel bags, a backpack and three or four gallon-size freezer bags from the interstate, but the wind blew much of the substance and seeds, Phoenix said.

Also, some people with police scanners heard that a man was throwing marijuana out of his car window and drove to the scene to try to retrieve it, Phoenix said.


another great moment in retardation. Why if you're being pursued do you do that. did he think they woudln't see the 19 bags go flyin out the window??

No, but with a really good lawyer, he might have been able to get off if he wasn't covered in it and he had no prints on any of the bags.
Also, the smaller amount they find on his person the better. If they miss a bag or some spills (or lucky bastards pick it up while the cops are busy) then his charges may be less because of the quantity.

Hope that guy enjoys prison!

You seem to know much about this. :D

Seen similar things on Worlds Wildest Police Chases... one of the pocket sized bags hits the winsheild of the police car... right in full view of the camera as it also picks out other bags flying from the car's window.

Also, some people with police scanners heard that a man was throwing marijuana out of his car window and drove to the scene to try to retrieve it, Phoenix said. now this is hilarious. wonder if they busted any of them for possession.

there was one cop story where a car was in an accident right infront of a cop car. the police inside noticed one man rush out, cross the intersection and bury something by the electrical pole and nonchalantly make his way back to the car. so one cop goes to do reports while the other stands by the pole. after a moment, (when backup arrives) the second cop digs up a bag of drugs and the two were arrested.

Are you...um...implying something?

I wasn't implying anything, but the burrito and twinkies might have.

Doesn't surprise me. After watching TV for once over the weekend, one needs to be high to watch most of the programming, especially on MTV. Totally expected to have somebody chuck it out the window.

It's like a pinyata at a party.

RUN RUN RUN!!! PICK UP THE GOODIES!!!:p

Hopefully there'll come a time when people everywhere just start planting the good stuff all over the world, so that there'll be so much of it no government can even think of stopping the rightful use of the ganja...




Yes I do know what it sounds like... :)

that day my friend is a long ways away

yup, it'll all come down to the actual quantity they can tie to him. i'd do the same thing in his position. especially in texas.

At least you don 't entirely discount the possibility...

;)

Hope that guy enjoys prison!

Because he totally deserves it for partaking in the use of that devil weed.

Hell, if I was in the right neighbourhood I'd do the same. You could drop half a ton of dope out of a car window in west London and it would be gone before the cop car could even pull to a halt.

Getting it off your body would be harder, but thats why I always carry a handy-vac! Never miss a scrap.

But what if they search the handy-vac?

that guy definitely should've had one of those

But what if they search the handy-vac?

then throw it out the window:p

totally. did you know that the evil weed makes people turn into homicidal maniacs and sexual predators? and with just one joint it could happen to you, or you, or you!

weed turning people into homical maniacs.....thats funny.

And people don't think Pot causes brain damage?

*tokes* Aw, fuck. Oh well.

I ask you, which is preferable - being arrested and having 19 bags of marijuana in your car, or being arrested after throwing them out of the window, requiring the police to prove that you threw those bags out of the car, etc.?

The guy obviously knew he was going to be sprung, and tried to improve his chances somewhat.

I don't think he had many other options there.

I now wish I lived in texas, goddamnit they need to realize the only way they can make it go away is to legalise it!

Or by genetically modifying the plant so it can't grow anymore.

And then people will make THC in the lab and use that instead.

Really? It does?

Since when? And how much does one have to toke for that to happen?

Or by genetically modifying the plant so it can't grow anymore.

It is doubtful that if that happened all the cannabis in the world would be affect.

Anyway, we'd only have to wait one generation until to world can be repopulated.

so that is why they call it HIGHway.
