SMELLS LIKE WEED
By FaynerIsBack | March 27, 2008
San Francisco: The musty smell of a man’s money led to his arrest on possible drug charges. The 21-year-old Sturgeon Bay man tried to deposit money smelling of marijuana at a bank here last week, according to a Sturgeon Bay police report obtained by the Door County Advocate.
The $4,000 in bundled bills did not smell like burned marijuana but had a musty odor of ground sweet leaves, the report said.
The smell was so strong and distinct that a teller put the cash in a plastic bag. Sturgeon Bay police tested it for marijuana, and it came back positive, the report said.
The man was arrested when he returned to the bank to make a withdrawal. Police later found bagged marijuana at the man’s home.
“All the pieces just came together,” Police Chief Dan Trelka said.
The man is being held in the county jail on a probation violation, while the Door County district attorney’s office reviews his case. It will be up to the district attorney to file formal charges.
