IOWA CITY, Iowa -A man has been arrested in the Iowa City area after police say he tried to eat a bag of marijuana to avoid drug charges. University Heights police said the man was pulled over early Sunday for a traffic violation. Police said the officers noticed a marijuana odor on his breath, and a green, leafy substance on his shirt.
Police Chief Ron Fort said the officers then discovered the man had a partially eaten plastic bag in his mouth.
Fort said the suspect eventually gagged, and a medium sized bag came out of his mouth.
The man was charged with preventing apprehension and obstructing prosecution and third-offense drug possession.
This story reminds me of one of my classic times at the Athletic Supply Helmet Shop. One Monday our boss was reading the paper and came across the blotter where he read that one of my co-workers had been arrested the previous Saturday for public intoxication and possession of marijuana. During which time he ate a bag of pot. A good laugh was had by all.
