[This story gets an A+ for irony for being from Hempstead - a colonial name given to a homestead for hemp farming. --"R"R]
HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. (WPIX) — When Desmond Kelly strolled into First District Court in Hempstead Wednesday to deal with a motor vehicle violation he probably expected to pay a fine and go home, but things “blazed” out of control.
Nassau District Attorney spokesman Eric Phillips said when the judge asked Kelly to see the summons issued to him in regards to the violation, the Inwood man pulled it out of his pocket and – inadvertently – a small bag of marijuana came out as well. To make matters worse, the baggie fell right on top of the court officer’s shoe.
The court officer then yelled out “you’re under arrest” and according to Phillips, the packed courtroom let out a collective gasp. Court officials then charged and arraigned Kelly, 28, for marijuana possession.
This is one of the most boneheaded stupid idiotic mistakes someone could possibly make. Although, if cannabis were legal (as it should be), then nobody would have taken notice. Could you imagine the headline?
“Man drops something out of his pocket and picked it up!”
Not very newsworthy is it.
I’m sure that President Obama is still laughing. Someone pass him something to drink to treat his cotton mouth.

With all due respect, Radical Russ, -the FUCK is you talking about?!?
I know you’ve been covering the DEA raids that have occured since Jan. 20.
President “I inhaled. Frequently. That was the point” has no trouble putting people in jail for providing the substance that he used with gusto.
Obama is not a brave guy. He’s not an ally. He lacks integrity. He’s not “one of us.” He’s just another obstacle.
Americans who smoke marijuana will win our fight for justice. But not before we politically defeat that clown in the White House.
