So a guy walks into a police station in Connecticut, smoking a cigar. He was told that there was no smoking in the station, so he stubbed the cigar out. But when officers sniffed around a little bit, they realized that the cigar contained marijuana.
Capt. Robert Myles says Scott Snow walked into the station early Saturday and blew smoke from his cigar into a small opening in the bullet-resistant glass separating desk officers from the public.
Myles says the 24-year-old man was told there's no smoking inside the building and he allegedly stubbed out the cigar on the counter.
Officers came out and smelled the distinctive odor of marijuana and arrested Snow.
The cigar might hide the pot, but it still smells like pot when it burns, genius. Meanwhile, in Texas, another criminal mastermind reported that two men had robbed him of 150 pounds of marijuana.
Hidalgo County sheriff's deputies arrived at the home near Penitas in South Texas to find the door kicked in and nearly 15 pounds of pot lying on the floor, Sheriff Lupe Trevino said.
Jose Guadalupe Flores, 35, escaped while the men ransacked the house but returned later and told the deputies he had been wrapping the drugs for shipment when the intruders arrived.
"The guy walked right up and said the drugs were his," Trevino said. "That's not the smartest move."
Flores also happens to be an illegal immigrant from Mexico. And a few fries short of a Happy Meal, it would appear.
