*REALLY* Dumb Criminals: Connecticut Man Hides 19 Bags Of Weed In Socks During Probation Hearing
STAMFORD -- The man accused of carrying 19 bags of stinky marijuana to his probation officer meeting in the the courthouse basement a little over a week ago, was brought back to the Stamford courthouse last last week and charged with violating his probation.
Darren Shelley, 22, of 240 Selleck St., Stamford, appeared Thursday before Judge Ericka Tindall, who raised his court appearance bond by $5,000 for the new arrest.
Up until Thursday, Shelley has been held at the Bridgeport Correctional Center in lieu of a $5,000 court appearance bond since his arrest on June 9, when he was allegedly found with the pot in his sock.
At Thursday's hearing Shelley was assigned a public defender and scheduled to return to court to be arraigned on his marijuana possession charge June 23.
Legal intern Michael Stenger told Tindall that when Shelley met with his probation officer on June 9, the odor of the marijuana he was carrying was so strong that his probation officer became suspicious.
