Would you like handcuffs with that? A couple in Indianapolis are behind bars after some fast food workers noticed they were smoking weed in a car with their one-year-old. They stalled the pair long enough to call the cops who not only found weed (the woman involved tried to tell cops they were smoking cigars) but also a loaded gun. The real question is: who does go to McDonalds for a Happy Meal with a little weed and a loaded .357?
Marshall Chatman and Constance Payne ended up behind bars after a trip to a fast food restaurant. They placed an order from the drive-through at the North Keystone Avenue Arby's around midnight Friday. The drive-through worker noticed their one-year-old in the car and called 911 about a strong drug odor. "There is a car in my drive-through. There are two adults smoking pot with a child in the vehicle," the caller told the dispatch operator.SOURCE: Couple arrested for smoking pot with baby in car - WTHR | Indianapolis
The fast food workers didn't want the parents to leave before police arrived, so they devised a plan to keep them in the parking lot. "I am having them wait on chicken right now so if you can get here in three minutes," the employee told police. Officers say they not only found marijuana but also a loaded Glock .357 in the car. Officers say the child's mother told them they were smoking cigars but their training told them something different. "The odor from marijuana is distinct and they are trained on what it smells like," said Lt. Duhamell.
Follow-up story states that the charges were dropped because of concerns that the police search of the vehicle was "improper." So the two morons live to toke another day, and I'm sure the kid will grow up to be President or something someday.
