Baton Rouge Police Arrest Man in Possession of 47 pounds of Pot

Reported by Logan Leger on Sat, Apr 18th, 2009 in News and tagged: , , ,

So, I’m sitting here on this lovely Saturday morning, perusing the police reports and amongst the fairly mundane DWI traffic stops, murder warrants and middle school fights is this: 47 Pounds of Pot Seized During Stop.

. . . What? Fourty-seven pounds? That’s a lot of weed.

Apparently, a Mr. McCoy was driving recklessly and when a police doing routine patrolling saw this, he pulled him over. Mr. McCoy then admitted to smoking a joint, which he promptly threw out the window when he saw the officer, and also admitted to having a bag of weed in his pocket. This, of course, was a terrible idea because it led to the subsequent discovery and confiscation of 47 pounds of weed. I guess Mr. McCoy didn’t realize that you don’t get good faith points from the DA for being forthcoming with your infractions.

He was charged with Possession With Intent to Distribute Marijuana, Possession of Marijuana, Improper
Lane Usage and Littering. Of course, I think the last two are of far less concern to Mr. McCoy right now.
