Arrestee explains concealed gun, crack-cocaine in pants

<skip>

Police pulled over a car Anthony L. Robinson was riding in Tuesday at Thompson and Bales avenues, when a warrant linked to the license plate.

Officers found a semi-automatic handgun concealed in a bag, marijuana in Robinson’s jacket pocket and more than 13 grams of crack-cocaine in his pants.

When detectives interviewed him the next day, Robinson explained everything:

He was headed to buy a cigar because he was rolling a blunt to get high, which he does every day.

He bought the gun a couple days earlier for $30 and put it in the bag to hide it from police. But he said there were no problems with the gun because it wasn’t stolen and it “had no bodies on it.”

The crack? “It’s mine and that’s how I roll 24/7.”

If officers let him go, he said, he’d be out doing the same thing.

He's got a job to do and so do they.

...of course, even in my sleep I had the courtesy not to do any other drugs or carry any weapons. Still, Ambien is no joke.

I've heard some pretty terrible explanations -- my personal favorite is the old I didn't know it wasn't legal defense.
