Excerpt:
"A Havana man accused of smoking marijuana at the top of the giant slide during September's carnival pleaded guilty Thursday in Mason County's Eighth Judicial Circuit Court.

Adam Brewer, 19, of Beardstown, was charged with illegal possession of drug paraphernalia, a Class A misdemeanor when, according to court documents, officers received a call from a parent that there were two guys "smoking dope" in front of children on top of the giant slide."


C'mon, now. I think many people would agree that smoking and riding down a giant slide sounds like great fun, but do your smoking beforehand, man, and definitely not around the little kids.

"A man was arrested for drug possession after telling authorities that two masked gunmen had stolen 150 pounds of marijuana from his home.

Hidalgo County sheriff's deputies arrived at the home near Penitas in South Texas to find the door kicked in and nearly 15 pounds of pot lying on the floor, Sheriff Lupe Trevino said.

Jose Guadalupe Flores, 35, escaped while the men ransacked the house but returned later and told the deputies he had been wrapping the drugs for shipment when the intruders arrived."



If there is an award for Law Enforcement Understatement of the Year, I think Sherriff Trevino is a contender for calling the above "not the smartest move."

"Capt. Robert Myles says Scott Snow walked into the station early Saturday and blew smoke from his cigar into a small opening in the bullet-resistant glass separating desk officers from the public.

Myles says the 24-year-old man was told there's no smoking inside the building and he allegedly stubbed out the cigar on the counter.

Officers came out and smelled the distinctive odor of marijuana and arrested Snow."
