Yes, will the wonders never cease... ;)
A man called the police to let them know that two armed men robbed him of over 150 lbs of Marijuana. When the officers responded to the call, they found the door kicked in, the house ransacked and over 15 lbs of pot strewn across the room from the messy robbers.
The owner escaped from the robbers, but came back to file the report and admitted that the pot all over the floor was indeed HIS... :-X
Not exactly brilliant... ;D
McALLEN, Texas - A man was arrested for drug possession after telling authorities that two masked gunmen had stolen 150 pounds of marijuana from his home.

Hidalgo County sheriff's deputies arrived at the home near Penitas in South Texas to find the door kicked in and nearly 15 pounds of pot lying on the floor, Sheriff Lupe Trevino said.
Jose Guadalupe Flores, 35, escaped while the men ransacked the house but returned later and told the deputies he had been wrapping the drugs for shipment when the intruders arrived.
"The guy walked right up and said the drugs were his," Trevino said. "That's not the smartest move."
Flores, an illegal immigrant from Mexico, was charged with felony possession of marijuana at an arraignment hearing Monday. Because of his immigration status, Flores will be jailed until his case is heard.
Authorities were still searching for the gunmen.
