AFFI 0 #1 May 17, 2007 http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070510/ap_on_fe_st/odd_pot_brownies_officer DEARBORN, Mich. - A police officer will avoid criminal charges despite admitting he took marijuana from criminal suspects and, with his wife, baked it into brownies. The police department's decision not to pursue a case against former Cpl. Edward Sanchez left a bad taste in the mouth of at least one city official, who vowed to investigate. "If you're a cop and you're arresting people and you're confiscating the marijuana and keeping it yourself, that's bad. That's real bad," said City Councilman Doug Thomas. Sanchez, who resigned last year from the department in this Detroit suburb, declined comment Wednesday to the Detroit Free Press. Police Cmdr. Jeff Geisinger did not return calls seeking comment. The department's investigation began with a 911 call from Sanchez's home on April 21, 2006. On a 5-minute tape of the call, obtained by the Free Press, Sanchez told an emergency dispatcher he thought he and his wife were overdosing on marijuana. "I think we're dying," he said. "We made brownies and I think we're dead, I really do." Sanchez later told police investigators that his wife took the marijuana out of his police vehicle while he was sleeping. In a subsequent interview, he admitted he got the marijuana out of the car himself and put it in the brownie mix, police said. His wife also was not charged.Mykel AFF-I10 Skydiving Priorities: 1) Open Canopy. 2) Land Safely. 3) Don’t hurt anyone. 4) Repeat… Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Generally I am of the opinion that no-one anywhere should ever be arrested for possession of marijuana, but seriously - this guy stole police evidence and then lied about it! If anyone ever deserved to be charged for a pot offence it is this dudeDo you want to have an ideagasm? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

crotalus01 0 #8 May 17, 2007 Well, the guy must not have known jack shit about weed and its effects. That or he got usually smoked shwag and confiscated some kind bud... Scientists have established a lethal dosage for marijuana, but its literally impossible to consume that much. Talk about getting paranoid.... As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD...
