Dude loses coke, asks feds to help find it
This is all over local news here in Seattle, but I wasn't sure if it was getting much play nationwide. It fits into the general category of "drug dealers do really stupid stuff" - we could turn all of DoseNation into a "funniest drug dealers!"-type blog if we wanted, there's so much bozo-ness going on. But this one was particularly hilarious: apparently a cocaine dealer, already under suspicion by the authorities, lost track of a backpack with 68 pounds of cocaine near the border, and decided to call the feds to ask for help finding it.
According to the complaint, he told agents that on Aug. 3, he had stashed two blue backpacks containing 68 pounds of cocaine by the entrance to a Boy Scout camp near the Canadian border. When he returned the next day, they were gone, he said.
Carr, of suburban Federal Way, asked if ICE could put out a news release saying that federal agents had seized the drugs. That way, according to the complaint, the organization he was working for would believe his statements that he hadn't stolen them.
Two weeks later, a Boy Scout ranger found the backpacks, which were dry and in good shape, and called police.
Carr was arrested last weekend on a federal charge of cocaine possession with intent to distribute.
You see, this is what's wrong with the war on drugs: we shouldn't be sending Boy Scouts out into the wilderness to recover missing cocaine, not without giving these poor kids a badge. At any rate, I've seen enough crappy gangster television to appreciate that someone who, uh, misplaces 68 pounds of cocaine might just possibly get into trouble with his bosses. It's probably not as bad, though, as the person or persons who left an entire school bus worth of marijuana by the side of the road after the engine broke down. Imagine explaining that.

A smaller award is also awarded (on the distance, of course - hardly anyone would be proud of such a prize) to people who haven't eliminated their genes, but have shown enough sillyness to mark them as likely candidates for a future award. ;) One of the awarded was a woman who had bought cocaine and thought the dealer had cheated her, so she... went to the police and asked the cops to perform a test for her. The powder tested positive and she was arrested.
