Wh didn’t they check his pockets before he was placed in the car? He could have had a weapon…..Apparently he was too high to remember anything…but what if the fog lifted and the light bulb flickered for a second?
Honest officer, these ain’t my pants, I just borrowed them.
Could have been a “distraction tactic” to lure the officers attention away from a larger stash of illegal substances.
Can’t fix stupid!
That’s not cocaine in my pocket…I’m just happy to see you, officer.
Oh Dude…..this is your brain on drugs.
