Driving while stupid

Our “dumb druggie of the day” story comes to us from Niagara County…..and as an added bonus, it’s a two-fer!

Let me make it clear once again….I am not condoning nor supporting the use of illegal drugs. But I do support the concept of NOT BEING AN IDIOT.

If you’re gonna drive around with pot in the car….you might want to make sure you actually do have a driver’s license. The other night, sheriff’s deputies pulled a car over just before 2:00 a.m. (when police tend to be extra suspicious of any car on the road). According to the cops, the 19-year-old driver didn’t have a license (it was suspended) but did have pot under the seat. Now the bonus part….deputies say there were also five cold bottles of beer….and they say the 18-year-old passenger said they belonged to him. Good move!

So the driver is charged with marijuana possession, driving without a license, and failure to keep right (which, btw, is something you probably want to do when you’re driving around at two a.m. with no license and pot in your car). The passenger is charged with unlawful alcohol possession. And sheriff’s deputies are eternally grateful for stupid people.
