Dumb Criminal: High Driver Could't Ask Grandma For Ride—She Was High, Too

A driver was told by police to get a ride home because he had been smoking marijuana. He thought to ask his grandmother, until he realized she had been smoking, too.

Officer Tom Stewart was on patrol one night recently and he stopped a vehicle for a traffic violation. During the course of interviewing the driver on the traffic stop, he became aware that the driver had been smoking marijuana.

Officer Stewart told the driver that he should call someone to pick him up from the location of the traffic stop. The driver thought for a second and then almost talking to himself said, “I should call my grandma to pick me, but she smokes marijuana too, so maybe not."

Other arrangements were made to have the driver transported from the traffic stop.
