Nothing Better than the Blotter

We get the Gazette every morning. My wife reads interesting parts to me as we drive to work. Our favorite part? The BLOTTER!
You can’t make some of this stuff up, it’s so good. First one brings up memories of the old Cheech & Chong movies:

Police said Potenzo’s vehicle was in the left turn lane on Niagara Street, waiting to turn onto the Seymour Street bridge, when an officer saw the two men smoking what appeared to be a marijuana pipe.
Forbes looked out the passenger side window, noticing the officer, and he and Potenzo began making furtive movements to hide the marijuana, the report said. Police eventually found three marijuana bags in Potenzo’s vehicle.

And you wonder if the paper gets cash for “Product Placement” in their reports. As an example, we don’t just read that the individual had an open container, we read that he had “an open can of Bud Ice Beer”. I guess anything for a buck, ya know?

Can’t wait for tomorrow’s installment.
