Chocolate and marijuana are criminally delicious or so learned a Florida woman Monday during a traffic stop near Wells.
Sadie Fitzpatrick, 24 from Florida, was booked into the Elko County jail after four chocolate hearts in the trunk of her car tested positive for marijuana.
According to a sheriff press release Fitzpatrick was pulled over by Elko County Sheriff’s Deputy M. Friez just west of Wells a little before midnight Monday night.
Fitzpatrick was acting nervous, Friez, reported and asked the young woman if there was anything illegal inside of the vehicle. The driver told the deputy that she had a pipe in her pocket. Fitzpatrick showed a blue and white glass smoking pipe, it appeared to be new and unused. Deputy Friez asked if there was anything else and she said no.
While talking with Fitzpatrick, Deputy Friez could smell a strong odor of what appeared to be marijuana. Fitzpatrick denied anything else was in the vehicle and consented to a search of the vehicle. Friez located a duffle bag containing four chocolate hearts shaped items inside the vehicle’s trunk. The items tested positive for marijuana. Deputy Friez also located a jar containing marijuana; a similar heart shaped item inside a purse was located inside the vehicle.
Fitzpatrick was arrested for Possession of marijuana, Possession of drug paraphernalia, speeding and expired driver’s license. Bail set $5,916.00
It’s good to see that these fine officers are solving real crimes, you know people whom are possessing a plant. I’d hate to see them actually solve a real crime.
