Dog Gets His Owner Busted On Marijuana Charge

GRAPEVINE, Texas Feb 16, 2005 — The owner of J.D. the Labrador may be wishing his dog weren't such a good retriever. Matthew Porter and two friends were playing Frisbee golf in a park Monday when a police officer who thought he smelled burning marijuana began questioning them.

As the officer was checking for outstanding warrants, J.D. waded into a nearby creek and emerged with a plastic bag containing the drug.

Porter, 25, was charged with possessing drug paraphernalia. Micah Hays, 24, was charged with marijuana possession. J.D. was turned over to the third person at the park, who faces no charges.

J.D. also faces no charges, but may have a new job opportunity.

"People have been asking if we're going to recruit the dog for police work," said Grapevine police Sgt. Todd Dearing.

Nonethless, isn't that a crying shame.

BTW, got a link?

Like I said old news http://www.hightimes.com/ht/news/content.php?bid=207&aid=24

so if my dog wades out into a lake and finds a dead body I must have killed it? :shrug:

Good point.

:D

Do not throw stash when retriever is in vicinity.

That is all.
