Bank Customer Drops Bag Of Marijuana

[proud2BlibKansan]

SHAWNEE, Kan. -- Police in Shawnee plan on talking to a bank customer who apparently dropped a baggie of marijuana at a bank.

Shortly before 6 p.m. Tuesday, police said, the man walked up to a teller at the Country Club Bank to cash a check.

As he reached into his pocket, a baggie containing pot and rolling papers fell to the ground, police said. The man then left without picking up the items.

Bank employees called police.

Police said they identified the man by surveillance video.

No charges have been filed.

potato chips and a happy movie.

3. Should have picked it up

and said to the teller: Sorry about that, my vet wants my dog's stool sample ASAP and I'm going there right after I leave here.


Edit: It's easier to open a new bank account out of shame, than going to the pokie.

7. I can't believe they called the cops

I can guarantee I will never be going to that bank. What jerks.

[razors edge]

9. Really.

I bet they all wanted to pick it up and take it home but were afraid of loosing their jobs.

14. When I worked at a mall, I was chummy with the security guards

and one of them would bust kids every once in awhile and take their weed. Then we would go into my van during lunch or after shift to smoke it. The kids were so relieved that the cops weren't called and they were let go, they never made an issue of it.

18. Thats baaaad.

The Karma train will be stopping soon to collect. ;-)

20. Before we had stupid zero tolerance laws in our schools,

there were a couple times my elementary students brought pot to school. Usually they had taken it from an older sibling. One time the kid had accidentally put his brother's pants on and found a bag in his pocket.

I just threw it away. Didn't even report it to the principal.

When the principal found it, she just threw it away. She would have been irritated at me for wasting her time if I had reported it to her.

The time the kid had accidentally worn his brother's pants I called the parent because the kid was afraid his brother was going to beat him up.

Now though we have to call the cops. The zero tolerance laws say we can lose our jobs if we don't call the cops.

I can't tell you how hard it is to turn an 8 or 9 year old kid in for having a joint's worth of pot at school.

We had a big bust at our school last year. A kid brought some seeds.

Stupid drug laws.

19. He would've been at risk of objustructing justice

The marijuana laws are crazy considering alcohol's status. In rehab they give marijuana an honorable mention while focusing on drugs and alcohol. Besides the point, they got cameras and the guy walked away. Also if he would've kept it for himself on camera he would definately run the risk of other charges and his job.

21. Why not just throw it away?

Would that be obstructing justice too?

5. There is no better time then the present to legalize pot

or at least leave it up to individual states. I keep waiting for the fed to act on this. Empty the prison s of weed smokers and keep the violent offenders locked up.

8. Couldn't agree more

Welcome to DU! :hi:

[obliviously]

12. hi

I'm just thinking there are plenty of diversions Going on right now it could be tacked onto another bill and pushed right through. This war on the american people needs to stop. It is hypocrisy !

[JonLP24]

16. Yes. Alot of bills appear to be passed that way.

[Tangerine LaBamba]

6. Oh. OH!!!!!

How can anyone drop THAT amount and then walk away? I mean, it's not like it's one joint. It's a goodly amount.

My heart is aching ...................

[JonLP24]

13. It is sad. It's going to evidence control and then set on fire in a controlled environment

Unless a cop or someone with access steals it.

[Lilith Velkor]

23. If a cop steals it, it will be set on fire in a different controlled environment

:smoke:

[JonLP24]

10. That much pot and you go to a bank?

First thing I do is go home and stay there for hours. :smoke:

[Roon]

11. I've done that, man....

I was at a 7-11 and I dug deep into my pockets and and pulled out my bag of weed. The clerk just giggled as I stuggled to get it back in my pocket.

[MagickMuffin]

15. Ouch, that's gotta hurt

I agree the bank shouldn't have called in the Enforcers. I hope the guy doesn't get jail time.
