Man Calls Cops To Report His Weed Was Stolen

Posted by majestic on November 10, 2009

Oregon’s Stateman Journal reports on a local man who, once again, confirms the stoner stereotype:

A 21-year-old Salem man reportedly called 9-1-1 that his marijuana was missing, but when deputies arrived, he was booked on drunk driving charges instead, officials said.

It began early Tuesday at 12:52 as a report of a vehicle break-in at the Freeloader Tavern at 501 Lancaster Drive SE, sheriff’s spokeswoman Lt. Sheila Lorance said.

A man told dispatchers that while he was inside the bar, someone broke into his truck, stole $400 cash, a jacket and about 3/4 of an ounce of marijuana, valued at about $180.

Deputy Ryan Clarke went to the scene, but when he was arrived, was unable to find the driver. About an hour later, the driver called 9-1-1, angry that deputies had not arrived, and was driving. Lorance said the dispatcher had difficulty understanding the caller because the driver was stopping several times to vomit.

Deputies eventually found the driver at 49th Avenue and Fontana Court SE where the man had parked. The driver, who was found about 100 feet from his truck, told deputies he was looking for the people who stole his “weed.”

    Wow, it's almost hard to believe this actually happened. Sounds more like a missing scene from the Mike Judge film, Idiocracy.

    This in no way “confirms the stoner stereotype”. I am *appalled* that this article focused on the marijuana instead of the alcohol. Alcohol accounts for more deaths than any other substance besides tobacco. Alcohol accounts for the vast majority of domestic disturbance, just ask any cop.

    You wanna know how many deaths are caused by marijuana? NONE
    You wanna know how many stoners I've seen doing something this stupid from just smoking weed? NONE
    And believe me I know tons of stoners…. tons of stoners who would never touch a different substance (except some of them smoke tobacco)

    Come on people, educate yourself.
