Cesar Lopez, a 29-year-old Lebanon, Pa., man, was busted Saturday when he walked up to a police officer with a small bag of marijuana stuck to his forehead, according to Lebanon police.

Police said the officer went into a Turkey Hill convenience store on Lehman Street at 3:25 a.m. Saturday and saw Lopez holding a baseball cap and peering inside it. When Lopez approached the officer, he looked up, and the officer said he saw a small plastic bag stuck to Lopez's forehead. The bag appeared to contain marijuana, police said.

The officer retrieved the bag from Lopez’s forehead and said, “Is this what you are looking for?,” according to the police report. Lopez was charged with possession of a small amount of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.

It is not uncommon for people to hide drugs in the inside lip of a cap, police said.

"Now where the heck did I put that bag of weed?!"

Smoke in the comfort of your own home people!

Wow they really charged him? Poor guy. He must have smoked half of it already for something like that to happen.

Geez, you'd think with all the pot that he smoked, no one would notice that he had one on his head. Don't do drugs, kids.

This is Wolverine's doing. I know he is behind it.

Do you mean Drugs or Potted plants? C'mon marijuana barely qualifies as drugs.
Its a shame the waste valuable police force on such BS. I bet there was a crack dealer, pimp or pusher who did not get arrested because the police arrested the guy with a gram or two of pot. It is truely sad.

I don't get something about drug paraphernalia. Most of it can be used for both pot & tobacco, so when you have pot, it's paraphernalia, but when it's tobacco, it's not?

“Is this what you are looking for?”

I like the officers response...

The paraphernalia was the plastic baggie that he has the pot in. It's so they can get you with an additional charge.

For instance in Los Angeles county, it's only a misdemeanor carrying up to 1 ounce of marijuana. but if you have some baggies with you? Possession with intent to distribute and possession of drug paraphernalia.

99% of the time you can get off with a pack of Zig-Zags But if you have a glass piece, and it's full of resin, or even if it's never-been-used, but you don't have any loose tobacco on you..... you're gonna catch a paraphenalia charge...

That's around here at least, because simple-possession is a slap on the wrist, and paraphenalia is a much stiffer charge.

I'm all for people doing whatever makes them happy if it doesn't hurt other people, but riding dirty is never a good idea.

Have you ever seen the Cops episode where a suspect with a joint behind his ear had no idea why he was being detained? The officer kept giving him the opportunity to come clean, but he was clueless. Finally, the officer siezed the joint and showed it to him. His jaw just dropped.
