CALLAWAY, Fla. - Help, police, someone stole my pot! A Panhandle couple is under arrest after notifying police Thursday that their quarter-pound stash of marijuana was stolen and that they needed the weed back, because they were going to later sell it.



"They're America's dumbest criminals," said Lt. Ricky Ramie, head of the Bay County Sheriff's Office narcotics task force.


Deputies arrested 18-year-old John Douglas Sheetz and 17-year-old Misty Ann Holmes and charged the duo with possession of marijuana with intent to deliver and possession of drug paraphernalia.


According to the police report, the couple returned to the home they share and found the home broken into and a quarter-pound of marijuana missing. They immediately called authorities to report the break-in and theft.


Police said the couple told them they were going to resell the marijuana and allowed the detectives to search the apartment. Investigators discovered several marijuana stems among other drug paraphernalia during the search, The News Herald in Panama City reported for Saturday editions.


They were taken to the Bay County Jail and are each being held on $17,500 bond.

3. My brother considered it one time

Actually, he wanted to see if they could bring a dog over, 'cause he couldn't find his stash.

4. Maybe they thought they were 'entrepreneurs' who voted for bush and

they were above the law like Cheney, Wolf, and the rest of them.

5. LMAO

I wonder for how long the police thought it was a joke? I know I would have thought they must be kidding.

6. Reminds me of a story I heard about guys selling drugs to undercover cops

but the cops weren't exactly undercover--they were returning from a drug raid and were wearing t-shirts, hats and jackets clearly labled ''POLICE" when they were flagged down. Fortunately, there was room in their police car for more...

10. I remember the same thing happening several years ago

At a ski resort in Vermont, IIRC. A couple called the police and reported that the chambermaid had stolen their pot. :wtf: I can't remember the outcome but they ran a bunch of articles in the local paper at the time and we all had a good laugh about it.
