The Blotter is a look at some of the unusual things that happen on the crime beat in Bay County.
PANAMA CITY - A woman called police and told them that her brother stole $50 from her purse and used it to put $10 worth of gas in his vehicle and to buy marijuana.
However, the woman refused to give the officer more details on the seller of the marijuana and the brother claimed he was innocent and that the woman's boyfriend, a member of the Air Force, could exonerate him. When the officer wanted to contact the boyfriend the woman said he was at work and she did not want to bother him.
With no leads on who was selling the marijuana and no way to tell which of the siblings was telling the truth the officer closed the case.
"All parties involved were advised on how to handle their family situation," the officer wrote. "Fountain was advised to stop smoking and purchasing marijuana, because there could be future ramifications."
