Drug users are not the smartest people around. This guy confirms that!

This reminds me of another "Enstien". This gal got ripped off trying to by drugs. The "seller" just took her money and ran, so the buyer called the cops. Cops got her to sign an affidavit and then arrested her for trying to buy drugs.

This is in the news this morning, a true life story of a guys brain on drugs:


TAMPA - One minute a pair of Tampa police officers were trying to catch a couple of loose dogs Tuesday morning, the next they were fielding a unique request from a man.

Would they test his crack pipe to make sure he was getting the real thing? According to an arrest affidavit, Phillip Williams wasn't convinced he was being sold actual crack cocaine. So about 11:15 a.m., he approached Officers Wayne Easley and Gary Filippone to verify he was getting real drugs.

He was.

The officers tested the pipe, which, sure enough, had cocaine residue. Williams, who is listed on jail records as a security worker at MacDill Air Force Base, was arrested.

Easley and Filippone were investigating a burglary at 1304 E. 15th Ave. They had arrested someone and were trying to corral the dogs when Williams walked up, crack pipe in hand, the affidavit states.

He showed them a yellow house where he said people were doing drugs, and he kept asking the officers to test his glass pipe. He told them he didn't think he was getting real crack, according to the affidavit.

When Williams grabbed Easley's police vest, the officers put him in handcuffs. Then they obliged his request. The pipe was booked into evidence. Williams was taken to Orient Road Jail, where he was charged with possession of cocaine and drug paraphernalia.

Williams, of 15907 Mystic Way, remained there Tuesday night. His bail was set at $2,500.

About a month ago, a fellow around these parts had a bag of pot,
invited some friends over, and one of them walked off with his bag.

Well, it was a large bag, worth some money, so he did what anyone else would do if something was stolen from him,
he called the police, "Someone stole my pot, I know who it was and where he lives, go get him".
Police did their civil duty and went to the friends house and arrested him for robbery and possession, and confiscated the evidence.
They then called the owner and asked him to come down to the station to identify his property, which he did and was promptly arrested for not only possession but intent to distribute due to the quantity.



I tried to find the official newspaper report, but it happened too long ago to be in their free archives,
but the above is a totally true story, Believe it or not.

Well, I'm thankful.

For some reason, I immediately thought that this thread was going to be about me.

Now why would the guy who started the potato bug thread and the Cummins powered Gremlin thread think something like that? Must be the drugs...

No, it's all that So Cal smog Begle keeps breething in that's warped his mind . I'm serious, It's got to be something in the air. I don't think I've ever met someone from S. Cal who was normal.

I think it might be more correct to say "he was a security worker at the BASE WHERE I'm TYPING THIS!!!"
