Bad joke gets better for police

BY JOE DEJKA

WORLD-HERALD STAFF WRITER

A man walked into a La Vista gas station Sunday and joked that he had a gun - but what happened next left the police laughing.

La Vista Police Chief Bob Lausten said the man, 22, entered the Sinclair gas station at 84th Street and Park View Boulevard about 6:15 p.m.

The man's joke didn't alarm the clerk. She was his mother. However, another customer was alarmed. He called police.

Officers sped to the scene and found the suspected robber and a friend outside their car in the station parking lot.

Officers detected the smell of marijuana coming from the car. A search turned up a quarter pound of marijuana and $603. The men were arrested for drug possession.

Jailed in Sarpy County, the two men, both on parole, realized a conviction would land them back in prison.

So they used a jail telephone to call a girlfriend and persuaded her to claim the marijuana was hers. She had no criminal record, and the men assured her she would, at most, stay in jail overnight.

The woman went to the police station and told her tale. Police knew immediately the story was false because inmate phone calls are recorded at the Sarpy County Jail.

She was arrested for false reporting.

I like that new TV commercial where Anthony is playing video games and that guy is behind him like "this is what Carmelo Anthony does in his free time?" and points out that he has a glass of milk nearby.

I sit there thinking, where's the weed?

Reading the title, I thought this was a thread about MU fans.

Being from Omaha, I am of course so proud of this. Actually, I live really close to the convenient store in question. I used to buy smokes there when I was in High School. It was always a place for low-lifes...hence the reason I know it so well.

How did you get this story? Do you get the Weird Herald??
