Dropped Marijuana Cigarette Leads to Arrest

— If you’re smoking marijuana in your car, don’t drop your joint — it could catch your vehicle on fire and help lead to your arrest.

 

That appears to be the moral of a Friday night incident in which Ryan M. Bays and Jonathan D. Mills, both 18, fumbled a marijuana cigarette they were puffing en route to a club, according to a police report released Monday.

 

Bays stopped the 2009 Acura to look for the dropped blunt because he “didn’t want his vehicle’s interior to catch on fire,” a report states.

 

Meanwhile, a police sergeant who was traveling east on Southwest Lakehurst Drive saw what he thought was a disabled vehicle. He turned on his emergency lights, and Bays got out. Bays said all was well with the vehicle, but the sergeant smelled marijuana.

 

Bays told police that he, Mills and a 17-year-old boy in the back seat were headed to a club. Bays and Mills, both of Port St. Lucie, were puffing a pot cigarette and dropped it under a seat, so he stopped in the middle of the road to get it.

 

Police found about 80 grams of pot in a bookbag in the back seat, which Bays said he bought in Fort Pierce. Investigators also found a loaded shotgun in the trunk, which Bays said was for skeet shooting.

 

Bays faces charges including possession of more than 20 grams of marijuana, possession of marijuana with intent to deliver and possession of drug paraphernalia, a St. Lucie County jail official said. Bays, listed as a cashier at a grocery store, was released Saturday from the St. Lucie County jail on $10,500 bail, the jail official said.

 

Mills was given a notice to appear.

Namely you Trinity and Artman. Please tell me you were drunk when you posted these because it seems as if though they were written by two slightly slow/borderline challenged 4th graders.

Maybe a large percentage of Americans would stop believing that potheads are retarded if we could learn how to spell. This message board is pathetic, and those kids were even dumber.

I'm from australia and the crazy thing is in most countries they'd see the bigger threat as more out of the ordinary.
I'm talking about the loaded shotgun in the trunk.

Wow, really..Stopped in the middle of the street? You're asking to get your face flashed with those red and blue lights. And yeah, I think the cost of repairing the interior would have been cheaper than paying for bail, so why not take the time to pull over, then pick that blunt up? It's mediocre shit like this that pisses me off.

hmmmm

Hey, don't call 'em dumb asses, they're just kids! Always an easy arrest when Johnny Law sees "kids" driving about. I would blame the parents for not educating the young dudes as to how to avoid getting popped. Or maybe they are just a little slow?

I guess the moral of the Story is be very carefull. In the current enviroment,you don't whan't to be smokeing a blunt while driveing down the road with a gun and a bag of weed.
I think it sucks that these guys got fined a big fine,and maby will have to do time. Sad comentary on the U.S. drug policy and laws that are just stupid. young dudes too last thing they need is a record.
lets get these bad laws changed, to prevent more folk bring incarserated

YA KNOW WHAT FUCK UM, DONT DRINK AND DRIVE, DONT SMOKE AND DRIVE. THE REAL CRIME WASNT THE WEED, IT WAS SMOKEING WHILE DRIVING. SO FUCK UM. BE SMART YOU STUPID ASS PEOPLE. IF YOU WANT TO BE TREATED LIKE ADULTS WHEN IT COMES TO WEED, ACT LIKE A REAL ADULT AND PROVE ALCHOLE IS THE PROBLUM. SHOW WEED SMOKERS ARE RESPONSIBLE AND UP STANDING NOT IDOTS, SMOKE THE WEED BEFORE LEAVING FOR THE CLUB, AND USE A SOBER DRIVER, GROW UP.
