Stash Crash

Friends don’t let friends drive with 43 pounds of marijuana in the trunk of their car. (This message has been brought to you by the National Council for the Frigging Obvious.)
ORANGEBURG, S.C. (AP) – It might have been one of the easiest drug busts the South Carolina Highway Patrol has ever made. A car with 43 pounds of marijuana in the trunk crashed into a trooper’s cruiser this weekend, authorities said.
Two patrolmen parked their cars in each lane of northbound Interstate 95 near Santee early Sunday morning after a couple of wrecks snarled traffic, Highway Patrol Capt. Chris Williamson said.
The AP reports 54-year-old Howard R. Fisher of Daytona Beach Shores, Fla. smashed into one of the cruisers at a speed of 70 mph. That’s weird, I’ve never seen a stoned person go faster than 1 mph and that includes walking.
The trooper behind the wheel only suffered minor injuries, but a search of the car turned up two large duffel bags of the wacky tobacky, which in Daytona Beach Shores during Spring Break is called an “appetizer.”
Fisher now faces charges of driving under the influence, possession of cocaine and trafficking marijuana. But luckily, before the crash, he saved a bunch of money on his car insurance by switching to Geico.

dear confused,
your friend already has probably been caught by now so you should steal his load of drugs and deliver it to a drug dealer driving at 70 mph.

maybe he was hoping that buy crashing into the cops they wouldn’t search his car? or that his car would be screwed beyond repair to the point the drugs were obliterated? i think he was just a little tipsy.
