I never thought I'd hear these words together before:

Possible Home Depot Trifecta now in play.

I'm sure the plumber frequently puts down the pipe, but his crack is always on display.

I'd have reported a 50 pound bag and a 49lb,15ounce bag. But then, that's me.

Submitter was in too much of a rush to get the headline right: 40+ POUNDS of marijuana, and 3 grams of cocaine.

Street value of drugs, around $50,000.

You always hear the stories " man finds stash of drugs in X calls police, ect..."

It warms my heart to know for every story like this there is a story that goes-- " Man finds huge stash of drugs, He and his girlfriend, being practical people, ration the doses out and party a few times a month for the rest of their lives."

I am getting a real kick out of this. My wife works there in the Tewksbury store. She has talked to so many cops and DEA agents it's ridiculous. Oh, drug-sniffing dogs are there like every day too.

/bonus...they found more today. My wife suggested selling growth lights there for a real profit. Her manager was tickled by that idea.

WHY OH WHY DID HE TALK ABOUT IT?!

Dunno if this is the same story twice, but after reading about Ludwig, 19, killing the parents of his girlfriend, 14, this was a link beneath it.

Ok that's a bunch of pot but three freaking grams of coke is hardly worth mentioning. What would be the motivation for putting 3 grams of coke in with the weed? Methinks perhaps the plummer had a few all nighters.

Oh, and it's not really clear by the article, but there are more than just one Home Depot affected by this. There are three in the MA area alone.

Combustion, that song kicks ass. Right up there with "Baddest of the Bad" and "Cowboy Love".

/on the related-to-the-article song theme, better queue up their song "Marijuana", while you're at it.

I think they need to start looking for a dead Home Depot employee, either at the store or the distribution center, who sold Jimmy the Nose's furniture to the wrong people.

Odds this was a sting to bust the "lucky winners" who didn't call the cops?

fnordfocus, seems to me that that would be entrapment, among other things like leaving drugs out in public.

Not too likely.

It was probably just commercial brick weed, you'd have to smoke like half a pound to catch a buzz.

2006-06-14 6:17:36 PM  
Raz, isn't drug possession a strict liability crime, and wouldn't that trump entrapment issues? I seem to recall hearing that the the USPS once sent child pornography to suspected perverts and arrested the ones who didn't call the postal inspectors to complain.

No, fnord.

Go wiki John De Lorean. He SOLD drugs to cops and got aquitted.
 
Raz
2006-06-14 6:29:54 PM  
Basically the idea of entrapment is "If you wouldn't have done it without the cops' interference, it's illegal'.
For the defense to be successful, the defendant must

"For the defense to be successful, the defendant must demonstrate that the police induced an otherwise unwilling person to commit a crime. However, when a person is predisposed to commit a crime, offering opportunities to commit the crime is not entrapment."

He obviously wouldn't have those drugs if the police hadn't left them there, hidden.
 
fnordfocus [TotalFark]
2006-06-14 6:48:18 PM  
I still think that I could argue that definition either way.

However, now that I reflect, 40 pounds is a bit much to waste on entrapment. Better to put 2 ounces in 320 different packages.
