One of my favorite KFOR coworkers is Chellie Mills. She's sweet and adorable and the nicest person you'll ever meet. Although this pisses off Abby Broyles, everyone else loves it. For example, on the last Friday of each month Chellie will prance around the entire compound handing out fresh homemade biscuits and butter muffins from a gigantic basket she bought at Hobby Lobby. Sometimes, she even lets Gaylon Culver help. It's why Lance West always refers to Chelli as "Biscuit Betty" whenever he cuts to her for a live report. It makes sense now, doesn't it?
Unfortunately, Chellie is so sweet and nice that she's a bit naive and sheltered. If you need proof, check out this report she filed yesterday. Apparently, she just learned that THC, the active ingredient in marijuana, can be put inside candy and chocolate bars.
Via KFOR:
Gummy bears and chocolate bars laced with marijuana were found in the suspect’s vehicle.
It's a problem officials said parents need to be aware of.
Deputies said the candies were packaged similar to items you may expect to find at any gas station or grocery store.
In this case, those candies were full of THC.
“It's getting a little tougher to tell what's what,” said Mark Opgrande with the Oklahoma County Sheriff’s Office.
The bust was made earlier this month along I-40.
The suspect, Nathaniel Rock, was pulled over for not having a license plate.
“He didn't have a story on where he was going, where he was coming from," Opgrande said. "The deputy got suspicious and called a K9 out there.”
Before we continue, I have some advice for all my friends... errrr... criminals.... who bring marijuana back from road trips to Colorado. First of all, please make sure your car has a license plate. Second, have a believable story as to where you're going and why, because apparently that matters when a cop pulls you over. I'd suggest saying you're on your way to Walgreens to get a new lice treatment comb. Third, hang a couple of suit jackets in the backseat. That way law enforcement officials will think you're a middle-class professional and really not give rats ass if you're bringing back marijuana or not. Fourth, come over to my house and let's hang out.
