webfact Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Argentine police officers who claimed rats ate missing pot are fired Ryan W. Miller, USA TODAY FILE photo Eight police officers in Argentina who claimed that rats ate more than half a ton of marijuana missing from police custody were fired Tuesday, according to local media reports. Argentine news outlets Pilar de Todos and Clarín reported that Buenos Aires' security minister Cristian Ritondo fired the officers after four told a judge that rats ate the missing pot. Officials dismissed the officers' theory, citing experts who said that rats would not confuse marijuana as food. If the rats did eat the drugs, they likely would have died and police would have found their bodies, the experts said, according to Clarín and El País.

Stargeezr Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 I think that several people have gotten very stoned on that half ton of smokes. Great lame story and excuse though. Geezer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
