If Your Weed Gets Stolen, Calling The Cops Is A Bad Idea

I would have thought that this would be obvious but apparently people don’t seem to understand that if you have some weed and something happens to it, you probably can’t call the cops about it. You just have to chalk that one up as a loss and move on.
That’s not what this Oregon man did. After discovering that he lost a quarter of an ounce of weed he reportedly called 9-1-1 to say that his marijuana was missing, but when deputies arrived, he was booked on drunk driving charges instead. His day just went from bad to worse.
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.”
Clarke determined that the driver was drunk.Calvin Hoover, 21, of Salem, was arrested on charges of driving under the influence of intoxicants.
What an idiot. I mean I can understand that he was probably pissed but come on.
