After being pulled over for a traffic violation, David I. Pledge (pictured) attempted to ingest a small plastic bag full of marijuana to avoid criminal charges, according to cops in Iowa City, IA ,who say they watched as Pledge eventually gagged the grass out.

Pledge, 25, reminds me of the suspect featured on this clip from The Smoking Gun Presents: World's Dumbest about a guy trying to eat a marijuana joint before a Georgia cop could confiscate it.  The aforementioned segment is also is worth watching as in it Danny Bonaduce demonstrates that with a little moxie and courage, one can eat such a rolled treat in only 12 seconds.
