Have It Your Weed
It is a safe bet that when Burger King drive-through employee Taharka Johnson (pictured) allegedly asked a customer who pulled up to the take-out window if he was interested in smoking marijuana, Johnson was unable to see what was written on the the stranger's hat.
The fast food employee asked driver Shawn McClister if he would like to exchange some pot for alcohol and then showed McClister a clear bag of "green vegetable matter," according to cops in Pennsylvania. McClister, it turns out, was an off-duty police officer. He rotated his knit cap so the words "Tullytown Police" were visible, and told Johnson "That's not a smart idea, now is it?"
Of course, that's somewhat a matter of perspective. From a purely entrepreneurial angle, assuming that someone who craves Burger King after midnight might be interested in something like that, well, that makes some sense to me.
But asking a cop? Who is wearing a hat with the word "police" on it?
Not that smart at all.
McClister left the restaurant and flagged down an on-duty cop. The pair returned to the restaurant and arrested Johnson, 32, who was charged with of drug possession with intent to deliver and possession of drug paraphernalia.
