Bad idea: Taking pot to probation meeting
I wanted to let everyone know I existed and since I already did that over at AU, I decided I'd post this funny article as a way to say hello.


Police say 2 baggies fall out when man empties pockets at metal detector
The Associated Press


DOTHAN, Ala. - A Dothan man attempting to report to his probation officer and pay some fines was re-arrested when he emptied his pockets for a metal detector at the Houston County Courthouse and laid out more than the usual coins and keys.

Two baggies full of marijuana came out, too, authorities said.

Malcom Williams, 51, tried to escape when the drugs appeared Thursday, but he was caught after a minor struggle and a failed attempt to Taser him, sheriff's officers said.

"He reached into his pocket and pulled out a handful with change, U.S. currency, keys, and the marijuana was evident in his hand," Houston County Sheriff's Capt. Antonio Gonzalez said Friday. "Every now and then you have somebody who forgets what he had in his pockets."

Sheriff's Investigator Rick Clemmons said deputies had to shackle Williams instead of handcuffing him because his arm was in a sling with a cast on it.

Williams was being held in the Houston County Jail without bond for violating his probation. He pleaded guilty to felony third-degree escape in April 2007, according to court records.

It was not immediately clear if Williams had a lawyer Friday.

I'd love to hear about all the other stuff that people have on them. Because you know there has probably been way dumber people than this guy.

He must've smoked just before he left.

I think the saddest part of this whole story is that the man is 51. You just don't expect 51 year olds to be like this.

You know, you're absolutely right. He must've been at his prime in the 60s! Hey, I'm Nicole.

I got a feeling he might of had three baggies before he left home, and ended up smoking the third one before he got to the courthouse, kind of explains why he didn't realize he had the other two.

I got a feeling... you're right on the money. It's the only way this story is at all logical, although it is hilarious.
