A chicken meal with a side order of weed
Here’s an Associated Press story from Arkansas that caught my attention:
MAGNOLIA, Ark. — Police in Magnolia, Ark., say it wasn’t the fried chicken in Savalas Vantoli Stewart’s car that gave off a funky smell.
Instead, officers who pulled over Stewart on Friday night say they found a side dish of marijuana hidden in a recently purchased box of chicken.
Police say officers smelled marijuana coming from the car and found it after Stewart consented to a search. Officers say they also found several Ecstasy pills in Stewart’s pockets.
The 33-year-old Waldo resident faces a misdemeanor marijuana possession charge and felony drug possession charge.
A deputy at the Columbia County jail says Stewart was released Monday to await a court appearance. A telephone number for Stewart in Waldo could not be found.
Was this a combo meal? Did the restaurant erroneously give him pot instead of pot-atoes. I hope the officers let him eat his chicken before hauling him off to jail.
