A Dope Caught With Some Dope.
A man, after emptying his pockets before going
through a Polk County (Iowa) courthouse metal detector, suddenly realized
that he had tossed a small bag of marijuana into the security tray.
When it dawned on Clyde Lamar Pace, II at what he had done, he decided to
make a beeline for the exits. But as luck would have (at least for the
authorities), he ran the wrong direction and straight into a locked
revolving door.
"He threw in a baggie of marijuana without realizing it, and the person
working the security post said, 'Hey, what is this?'" said the Chief
Deputy. "He kind of gave that old I've-been-caught look, and the chase was
on."
Pace was arrested for drug possession and resisting arrest. The arrest
caused him to miss a scheduled hearing on drug and driving charges filed
after a traffic stop last month.
Talk about a dope.
