South Texas man busted after reporting pot theft

McALLEN, Texas — A man was arrested for drug possession after telling authorities that two masked gunmen had stolen 150 pounds of marijuana from his home.

Hidalgo County sheriff's deputies arrived at the home near Penitas in South Texas to find the door kicked in and nearly 15 pounds of pot lying on the floor, Sheriff Lupe Trevino said.

Jose Guadalupe Flores, 35, escaped while the men ransacked the house but returned later and told the deputies he had been wrapping the drugs for shipment when the intruders arrived.

"The guy walked right up and said the drugs were his," Trevino said. "That's not the smartest move."

Flores, an illegal immigrant from Mexico, was charged with felony possession of marijuana at an arraignment hearing Monday. Because of his immigration status, Flores will be jailed until his case is heard.

Authorities were still searching for the gunmen.

ROFL!! The first guy must've gotten Mexico & New Mexico mixed up and the second guy (the illegal) telling the cops the pot was his and expecting the cops to get it back for him? LOLOL....well..I guess that's how they do things in Mexico?

Stupid is as stupid does.

I propose that all law enforcement officials be re-deputized to enforce any and all laws so the ACLU can STHU
