One of the topics of conversation at my Mother's Day dinner was about this polics officer who was employed in the City of Dearborn, MI, where my uncle is the former Chief. The police officer has resigned and was not fired after he claims his wife stole pot seized in a bust out of his cruiser and made brownies from it. They ate the brownies and thought they were dying and caleld 911. The wife on another occasion admittted to taking cocaine out of his cruiser w/o his knowledge and went on a three WEEK binge. REad some of the story excerpted from Detroit Free Press below:
"The department's investigation began with a bizarre 911 call from Sanchez's home in Dearborn Heights. On the night of April 21, 2006, a panicky Sanchez told an emergency dispatcher he thought he and his wife were overdosing on marijuana.
"I think we're dying," he said in the 5-minute tape, obtained under the Michigan Freedom of Information Act.
"We made brownies and I think we're dead, I really do," Sanchez continued.
He told the dispatcher he had never made marijuana brownies before, but had previously used marijuana.
Then, he asked the score of the Red Wings game on television that night, explaining, "I just want to make sure this isn't some type of, like, hallucination that I'm having."
When later questioned by police investigators, Sanchez said his wife took the marijuana out of his police vehicle while he was sleeping, and she told investigators she tricked him into eating a pot-laced brownie.
"Cpl. Sanchez was insistent that he would never ingest marijuana or any narcotics intentionally," an investigator wrote.
But in a subsequent interview, Sanchez acknowledged he fetched the marijuana from his car, put it in the brownie batter, and ate the brownies.
Sanchez also said he took the marijuana "off the street from unknown persons," investigators wrote.
"I questioned him in detail about how many times and what types of narcotics he seized without arrest," the report said. "He was adamant that he only seized marijuana, and it was on a few occasions. Cpl. Sanchez stated that it had been over a year since he seized this marijuana and that the marijuana was taken to train his K-9," or drug-sniffing dog.
Wayne State University criminal law professor David A. Moran said Sanchez's behavior was problematic -- as was the Police Department's decision not to charge him."
