Police Blotter is a lighthearted look at some of the unusual things that happen on the police beat.
Some guys have all the luck and some guys have a pack of rolling papers fall out of their wallet during a routine traffic stop.
Police pulled this guy over after he took a wide right turn from 19th Street onto Mound Avenue — granted he was leaving an area notorious for drug activity. When the guy went to produce his driver’s license, a pack JOB 1.5 rolling papers fell out. Two packs of Brillos, sometimes used to screen pipes, fell out of his glove box as he went for his insurance and registration.
This guy’s window also didn’t work ... in July … so he had to open his door to talk to the police, who then — with evidence falling into their lap from everywhere else — noticed marijuana shake and other pieces of potential paraphernalia in the floorboard.
But, the pieces alone weren’t enough. He left with a ticket for the traffic violation.
