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."
They call it "dope" for a reason. And as much as the trust-fund kids in Boulder claim otherwise, this guy is how most drug users turn out.
Yep. A prime example of how drugs make you even dumber.

ReplyDeleteHey, I had an incident like that happen a number of years ago before they changed our pursuit policy. There was a group of 5 that did the exact same thing. They did it while we were just leaving roll call. That was the first stupid mistake. I took off after them and so did 6 other officers. They split up but the air unit was on top of them. One of the punks I chased kept turning around to see where I was. When he turned back around what he didn't know was that a jeep cherokee was stopped at the red light. He hit it at 75 mph. Needless to say he wasn't home for christmas that year. We found 28 grams of herb in his pocket... Pot Kills!!!
