Some people are just too stupid to be criminals - Stupidity the redneck way - Tennessee. A man apparantly took that slogan “to protect and serve” to the extreme as he emptied his pockets in order to pass through a metal detector. He took out his weed and rolling papers from his pockets and placed them into the Sheriff’s bowl. Protect his weed they did, by confiscating it. The man may now have another court date. This may be a good thing since this man really can not afford to lose any more braincells.
Now if you are already going to court, meaning you did something stupid and got caught.. maybe, just maybe you should refrain from taking your dope to court with you, much less, handing the dope to the cop for safe keeping while going to your court appearance for your prior stupidity.

CLEVELAND, Tenn. — A man was arrested after pulling marijuana from his pocket at a security check at a court. The man was visiting the courts section of the Bradley County Justice Center on Monday when he was asked to empty his pockets into a plastic bowl, a standard procedure.

Sheriff Tim Gobble said the items he placed in the bowl included marijuana and rolling papers. When questioned, the man ran from the building, but officers captured him within minutes.

The man faces charges of having contraband in a penal institution and evading arrest.
