I'm originally from south Texas and during my early 20's we used to go over to alot of the casinos in Louisiana to gamble. One night I got totally plastered on rum & cokes and was thrown out of the casino.
Being drunk and having all my friends still inside gambling was too much for me to handle so I attempted to "sneak" back in and got caught by security. They were pissed and decided to call the cops. The cops came and the casino management told them they didn't want to file charges, but they didn't want me to return that night. The cops arrested me for public intoxication and took me downtown to be booked.
On the way to the station I remembered that I had a small roach (like half a joint actually) inside my cigarette pack.
I didn't want to be charged with possesion of MJ of course, but I was handcuffed and there was no way to get rid of it. All I could do was hope that they didn't find it.
So we get to the station and they searched me and didn't find anything, BUT one of them picked up my pack of cigarettes and sure enough, looked inside and found it. They all kind of laughed about it and told the person entering the information in the computer to add a possesion of MJ along with my P.I. charge.
Now at this point I was not handcuffed and the roach was sitting on a table directly in front of me. I looked to my right and there was a HUGE garbage can filled with crap, so I took the oppertunity to quickly pick up the roach and throw it into the trash. The cops absolutely freaked! Slammed me to one side and three other cops started tearing apart the garbage. After about ten minutes they ended up finding it, and placed it back on the same table in front of me again laughing.
Now, the idiots never handcuffed me after this little incident, and after about ten more minutes I saw the same oppertunity again. So....quickly I leaned toward the table snatched up the roach....BUT this time, I
faked throwing it into the garbage and when they all dove toward the garbage to retrieve it, I turned the other way and ATE it! LOL
They tore the entire garbage can apart looking for it and of course never found it. With no evidence they were unable to charge me with it, so the only charge they could charge me with was P.I.
I sat in a holding cell for four hours and was released.
BTW: The second garbage can search took like an hour ...LOL
