Man Nabbed for Pot-Smelling Cash Deposit

Man Nabbed for Pot-Smelling Cash Deposit
Tuesday, March 25, 2008

(03-25) 18:17 PDT Sturgeon Bay, Wis. (AP) -- 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.

Gives a whole new meaning to "laundering money" :unsure:
 
dumb dumb dumb. People, do not make LARGE deposits that smell like pot! a $4000 deposit takes about 5 mins. If you want to be inconspicuous then make small deposits...$500 or less. DUHH. Or don't put your money and pot in the same place!
 
#1. What kinda bitch tattles on someone who is depositing 4 grand at her bank .. that's taking money out of their pockets lol.

#2. When I got out of jail I'd find that bitch and kick her snitching ass.

#3. How can they prove it's his and not someone elses money .. I"m pretty sure his finger prints aren't on it. Just because he made a 4k deposit . doesn't mean it was THAT money.

#4. Who deposits drug money anyway LOL. Dumbass .. the IRS keeps tabs on that shit, moron.

#5. How did this bitch know exactly what pot smells like .. my mom wouldn't know pot smell from lavender .. you gotta have been around it to "know" what that shit smells like.

My grandfather used to make my mother go through this police demonstration and they actually lit up pot so it would smell she used to hate it. She never smoked pot but to this day she knows what it smells like and is disgusted by it. My grandfather used to be a police chief where I grew up.
