A Panhandle couple is under arrest after notifying police Thursday that their quarter-pound stash of marijuana was stolen and that they needed the weed back, because they were going to later sell it. "They're America's dumbest criminals," said Lt. Ricky Ramie, head of the Bay County Sheriff's Office narcotics task force. Deputies arrested 18-year-old John Douglas Sheetz and 17-year-old Misty Ann Holmes and charged the duo with possession of marijuana with intent to deliver and possession of drug paraphernalia. According to the police report, the couple returned to the home they share and found the home broken into and a quarter-pound of marijuana missing. They immediately called authorities to report the break-in and theft.

| #8 You are probably correct on your diagnosis! Ignorance of the law is no excuse! Too bad F.Lee Bailey use to practice law in Florida before his "legal termoil and disbarment". He was hired by many and highly recommended. Andrea |

| #7 This is very typical of Florida. I lived in Ft. Lauderdale and you did NOT need a T.V. you could sit outside and watch car's being stolen out of the parking lot's of ones complex or the shopping malls. You see a Toyota Four Runner used with 50.000 miles on it was shipped out of Port Authority in Miami and sent to Iran, Iraq and re sold for $35,000.00 any U.S. 4x4 was priceless overseas. A couple from the mid west was vacationing in Ft. Lauderdale and while at the beach they found a neat package that "floated up onto the beach". They wondered what it was....while carrying it back to their car, they were stopped by beach patrol and arrested for possession. The elderly couple thought they found a "present". A co worker of mine had rented a Toyota from the Ft. Lauderdale INternational Airport and was stopped at the end of an exit ramp in Ft. Lauderdale, a car hit Mark from behind ...so Mark reported the accident to Hertz, Hertz road service came out gave Mark a new car and towed the damaged Toyota back to the airport. At 2 a.m. the Ft. Lauderdale police were knocking on Marks' door He was being arrested for transporting drugs...You see in trunk of the damaged toyota rent a car "someone" who rented the car before Mrk did had forgotten their "stash" and Mark was now to "take the fall". Florida can be like Manhattan, fast and nice to visit, but NOT reside there. I lasted 10 weeks and moved back to Massachusetts. END OF STORY * Andrea |

| #6 New reality show: Dude, Where's My Stash? The truly sad thing was that the pot was later found in the apartment, hidden in a box of laundry soap. John said "Dude! I knew Misty would never look there!" |
