Man called 911 when armed robbers stole marijuana from his home, then booked for drug possession

[ecstatic]

WICHITA, Kan. - A Wichita man called 911 to report he was the victim of an armed robbery. The theft? A pound of marijuana worth about $1,100 that he had been trying to sell at his home.

The victim told police Thursday that a buyer had pulled out a sawed-off shotgun and stole the drugs.

Police brought in a drug-sniffing dog to the house and located more marijuana and drug paraphernalia.

The victim was booked into Sedgwick County jail on several charges, including possession with the intent to sell drug.

The thief has not been found.

9. If there is a crime of stupidity , then this is it

2. Times Are Getting Tough

Drug dealers are calling the cops over $1K in pot.

What A Maroon!! But then again, this is Kansas we're talking about.

[rocktivity]

3. I read about a couple in Florida who did the same thing

Returned home, found that it had been broken into with a large amount of drugs stolen, and told their story to the cops. I would ask this victim what I would have asked them--is he SURE that HE didn't smoke it all? At the very least, it would explain WHY he called the cops!

:smoke::rofl::smoke:

4. Brilliant. nt

[DRoseDARs]

5. And this isn't the fiftieth time this has happened....

I remember one COPS episode where they were called in to a dispute about one woman being cheated out of her drugs. Seems she paid, but wasn't given the right stuff. The officers could barely keep from laughing hysterically, they had to keep their cool.

Bloody Hell. :rofl:

[rocktivity]

6. Then there was the one about the guy who got pulled over

and forgot that that he had a joint behind his ear. He probably accused the cops of planting the evidence!

:rofl:

15. sorta like filing a lawsuit for breech of contract when your hitman doesn't kill the guy

[jschurchin]

7. Bwahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He's got to be a Republican:rofl: :rofl:

[Warren DeMontague]

8. Yeah, well, Al Capone's mob used guns and ripped people off, too. For Booze.

The answer to all this never-ending nonsense is always the same: End prohibition, legalize, regulate and tax the shit. Enough, already.

[ComerPerro]

16. people would still steal it

[silverojo]

19. People like Rush Limbaugh

Prescription drugs are legalized and regulated, but he still manages to take pills by the boatload, doesn't he? :rofl:

[Warren DeMontague]

20. I think if you look at the circumstances of this story it becomes clear

he's a drug dealer. If you took the black market out of the equation, you would take a lot of the violent crime out of it, too. Sure, I bet people occasionally steal beer or bottles of liquor, too. But I don't think there's anything inherent about pot that is going to make large numbers of people break into homes to get it if you can buy it at the 7-11.

[ComerPerro]

22. well, definately. but he would probably find some other black market stuff to sell

i mean, he's selling drugs cause its profitable for him. So if drugs were leagal, he'd find other profitable (read as illegal) stuff to sell

[Warren DeMontague]

23. I'm not saying there wouldn't be any more criminals

just that much of the crime and violence assosciated with the drug trade would essentially evaporate, the way it did with the bootleg liquor trade.

[ecstatic]

30. That's the main reason why I want all drugs legalized

No illegal drugs = no drug dealers = less drug related crime = young kids in the poorest neighborhoods not looking up to drug dealers as successful figures to emulate.

Plus, it takes away the taboo allure as well.

[arcos]

27. But you could report it without being afraid of ending up in jail... nt

[SammyWinstonJack]

10. LOL!

:spank: What was he thinking? :silly:

[Jackpine Radical]

12. Thinking?

You said thinking?

[Oilwellian]

11. Toto, we're not in Kansas anymore

He must have had some really good stuff. :D

[shadowknows69]

13. Gee, I wonder where some people get the idea

that pot smokers are stupid. Thanks asshole.

[ecstatic]

14. rofl yep

Stories like this will do it! I have no problem with pot being legalized, but I think I'll abstain. LMAO.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

18. In All Reality, I Know Far More Stupid Fucks Who Don't Smoke Pot Than Actually Do, For The Record.

Just sayin...

[shadowknows69]

21. Agree completely

n/t

[Occulus]

25. Me makes three.

ed.: everyone I know who admits to smoking pot (!!) wouldn't ever, under pain of torture, call 911 for this.

I mean.... wow.

[shadowknows69]

33. 911 on my phone

is programmed to go right to my dealer's house anyway so maybe I would. B-)

[napi21]

17. Ohhh, how dumb can you get! I must rereadmy book What happened to

Kansas?

[Occulus]

24. Every once in a while I hear a story like this, and

I... :spray: ...honestly can't say... :rofl: ... that I have too terribly much sympathy for this poor sap.

Given what he did, I haven't a good deal of hope he won't go on later to do something equally idiotic....

[Mythsaje]

26. How could anyone NOT know that doing something like that

is the LAST thing you'd ever want to do?

I've heard of stuff like this in the past, but I've never understood it. Of course, in my view, it's on a par with wearing a big pot tee-shirt while carrying, or allowing someone else to take a picture of you with a bong in your hand. :eyes: What more can you really say?

[BlooInBloo]

28. (shrug) Kansas. 'Nuff said.

[uncle ray]

29. dumb dealer or not, here's my issue with the story

the only reason the police paid attention was so they could bust the guy. kick him while he's down. i've had legal things stolen from me, things worth more than a pound of weed, you suppose i could get an officer to even show up to take a report? HELL NO! now which is a bigger crime, a guy trying to sell a bit of schwag, or a fucking armed robbery? do you suppose the police put much effort into finding the ARMED ROBBER? no. they go for the easy bust, a guy peddling weed out of his home. i guaranfuckingtee you the guy who would steal weed at gunpoint is a helluva bigger threat to society than a guy selling the weed from his home. i've met LOTS of good moral drug dealers. i've never met a moral armed robber.

[ecstatic]

32. moral drug dealers?

That's almost like an oxymoron, unless the only thing they sell is marijuana that's grown in their own backyard. Otherwise, if they are getting the supply from other sources there's no telling how many victims are associated with the sale.

I do agree with legalizing drugs, but anyone selling anything like crack/cocaine is definitely not moral. That crap destroys communities, families, and lives.
