Man Arrested for Possession After Police Recover His Stolen Marijuana

Filed under: Human Nature, Really Stupid — Posted by Fancy Pants on January 31st, 2006


A Utah man who called police to report the theft of a quarter-pound of marijuana was arrested when police recovered the bag of pot and then invited him to come to the Public Safety Building to identify it.

And he did!! Whereupon he was promptly charged with possession.

How Ironic is This??

    My gosh, how stupid can some people be?? Did he really expect that they would give him back his week and say “glad to be of help, have a nice day”??

  2. Graham Says:

    Oh boy. This is a moronic website. Nothing listed here is actually ironic. Lookup the damned definition of “irony” and you will see that what you call “ironic” is actually coincidence or stupidity.
    Ironic would be if the man who stole his pot was an off duty policeman, or if when he went to claim the pot, the officers had already smoked it all. Thinks like that. Things that are incongruous are ironic. Things that are just strange or ridiculous are not.

    My, did he even stop to think? I somehow don’t think so.

  5. Terry Says:

    That’s what I call a Chronic obsession!
    Yet another reason to just say no.
