4 Pounds of Marijuana
Recently, we’ve seen a rash of really stupid criminals. Crooks, thieves, drug dealers and parole violators who, on their path to getting away scot free, couldn’t help but break the law right in front of watching police eyes. But now, the nogoodniks are taking steps to make it even EASIER for cops to take them downtown.
Consider Jon Burmeister. Heading north on I-5, he (allegedly) decided he needed to pull a U-Turn and head south (maybe he left the oven on). Problem is, Burmeister (allegedly) didn’t wait for an overpass or an onramp . . . he just took off through the center median and then drove against traffic in the southbound lanes.
When a trooper caught up to Burmeister, they found four pounds of pot and determined that he was (allegedly) driving under the influence.
