Toddler Calls OnStar - Police Find 1,700 Pounds Of Marijuana
<snip>

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- Sheriff's deputies in Bernalillo County, N.M., found nearly a ton of pot at a home, thanks to a toddler and an OnStar in-vehicle safety and security system.

The Albuquerque Journal reported Friday that a 2-year-old boy who was locked in his father's Cadillac Escalade in southeast Albuquerque pushed the OnStar button in the car for help. The device not only can guide a motorist to a location, it can also unlock doors and call for help.

Officials responded to the OnStar alert, and when deputies arrived, they became suspicious when they found a large trailer in the garage.

Inside the trailer, deputies found 1,700 pounds of marijuana worth more than a half-million dollars.

Four men were arrested and are now in federal custody on drug trafficking charges, deputies said.

7. Uh... the kid was locked in the car.
Fucker locks his 2-year-old child in the car, I'm glad they found something else they could put him away for.

I don't much cotton to child abuse.

3. $300 a pound
$500,000 / 1700 = $294/pound

Weed that bad IS a crime.

5. That's close to the prices when you're dealing with those numbers
Because you don't have to break it up into stupid requests like "gimmie 2 J's worth" or "do you have a 16th handy", or "how much for the shake that's left" etc etc

9. "Mom, you wouldn't let me ride without my helmet,
without my car seat, seatbelt.

You fell for that smarmy, disgusting, guilt inducing commercial..."

For being so stupid, now you're gonna pay!"

And I'm just going to snicker ever so quietly!

14. Why was the child locked in the car?
That is my main concern. That can be dangerous for a child. How hot is it in Albuquerque this time of year? I've heard they are having really hot weather. Children die of this type thing every year.
