Arrest no laughing matter with former corrections officer

hahaha! smoking blunts to the dome

thought he was a deputy?

That's why they call it..."DOPE"

No sympathy. I am a huge supporter of the police and corrections officers BUT I also want them held to a much higher standard than the average citizen.

If found guilty give this guy the highest penalties allowed by law. While you are at it re-write the laws making them much tougher.

No job and no pension for this guy. That is a start.

This is the type of loser that unions fight to save.

by the way, didnt they just legalize marijuana? or atleast make it a non criminal charge? pretty sure you can have up to an ounce on you and only get a $100 fine. No questions asked.
He got intent to distribute? really? i dont know. seems like theyre trying to pull one over on this guy. dont personally know him and dont care to but nonetheless, its cops abusing their authority. ill be he only probabtion. geez.

Yes, you can posses an ounce. However, you can not smoke it in public and sure as hell not smoke it while you drive. Big difference.

How is this "no laughing matter" ? If I smoked that blunt with him I'd be laughing my azz off!

Legalize it and tax it. A DUI for this would've been worth more money to the state.

Actually, why didn't this kid get a DUI? If it were a beer this would be considered open container.

The title to this story is totally ridiculous. It implies someone involved was laughing, which is not the case. A team of monkeys could put together a better newspaper than the Sun staff.

He also had the scale so they gave him a higher charge.(cops weren't a big fan of the 1 oz. max so they aren't letting a scale slide)

Why didn't he have an up to date inspection sticker? Maybe he was too stoned to realize it was due! I also agree with the other posters that this story was written very poorly.

no symp from me either, though I am a big supporter of legalizing weed.

What baffles me is the obsession with getting high in your car, it's these kind of jerks who are to blame for the negativity of weed. Like drinking, be responsible about it and if you can't then you need to grow up and learn some coping and self control skills.

However it's not just irresponsible, it's just plain stupid to put yourself in the line of fire like this. You have to brain dead not to understand what you put at risk, the lives of others, your own life, your record, your future, your job, your security, your freedom and all for a buzz?

Prioritize for crying out loud, with all the traffic these days even the slightest impairment is just not worth the risk or cost.(and I include emotional impairments like anger as well as stupid ones like talking on cell, one glass of wine with dinner or what have you)

it doesn't say if he was ticketed (or did I miss it) for the sticker, it is possible that he just bought the car and was in the grace period. That is not sticking up for him though, I'm just pointing out that there might be a valid reason for no sticker. It still does not excuse the stupidity and if it were the case that he had a good reason for no sticker it makes him look even more like a moron imo.

Dude, where's my job

that is true. driving under the influence. makes sense. i still think the intent to distribute is a bit much but i guess i could understand how the finagled that one. oye. what a mess

Another great job by the editors and who are responsible for writing the headline. Whoever edited this story also missed the "hallowed" out cigar description. Unless this was some type of sacred or holy blunt I believe the correct word is hollowed.

Yesterday a drunk goes to a PD to bail his buddy out. And today an officer for the state smoking a "blunt" without discretion. Wooooh those whacky citizens.

If he got a job at the jail then he paid a politician for it, so he will have to pay again to get the charges dropped

Maybe the Editor is Rastafarian. That would make the marijuana filled cigar "Hallowed." Let us recite a Rastafarian prayer for the editors at the Sun.

Our Dealer that art in Lowell
Hallowed be thy blunt
Thy bud be one
Thy seed be done
In a bong
As in an El Producto

Smoke herb this day
our daily haze
As we smoke with those that have smoken before us
And lead us not into the Police Station
But, deliver us from incarceration

Amen

“When you smoke the herb, it reveals you to yourself.”
