Cops: Man tries to pay for fast food meal with pot

1 day ago
VERO BEACH, Fla. (AP) — A McDonald's cashier called 911 after a Vero Beach drive-thru customer allegedly offered to pay for his meal with marijuana. The Indian River County Sheriff's Office said the cashier called Monday with a description of the vehicle the suspect had been riding in.
A deputy spotted the vehicle, found marijuana in the car and arrested its occupant, 27-year-old Shawn Alexander Pannullo.
Pannullo was charged with possession of cannabis and posted $500 bail. It was unclear if he had an attorney.
A Sheriff's report did not say what the suspect ordered at McDonald's or if he ultimately purchased the meal using something other than marijuana.

Geez..I cannot believe they called 911 on the guy just for this. I would have laughed it off. Was this really '911' worthy? *sigh*

I hate stupid marijuana drug laws. Just legalize and regulate the shit already!-and send law enforcement $$$$$ toward the serious drugs and violent crime, where they belong!

He obviously had the damned munchies and no money. idiots at mcdonald's - I'd have taken the pot and gave the guy some nuggets for crying out loud!

It's in Florida go figure. That sucks though, craving some fries and someone calls the cops on you. That's why you get your snacks ahead of time.

I wouldn't expect any less...

I was hoping I wasn't alone. Kids these days are dumb, it was free pot for godssakes (well it cost whatever he ordered, but with the employee discount, it was essentially free).

Damn, why couldn't I have been working there that day?!

That's the trouble with pot. You hallucinate nice people.

**RevellingInSane** · October 15th, 2008, 08:04 AM

The pot was probably worth a hell of a lot more than what he ordered.

If I had seen him, I'd have done a parking lot trade. QPC's for all day happiness.

Dumb twats.

My brother used to work as a parking valet and was offered many things other than cash for tips.

Take the weed, dumbass. Even if you have no use for it you can easily unload it for way more than the price of a Value meal.

This is why you always keep a little cash in your pocket while working your shitty minimum-wage job.

I worked at a TCBY in a shopping strip as a teen and we used to trade frozen yogurt for all kinds of shit from our peers working at neighboring stores (pizza, movie rentals, etc). It's little shit like this that makes the world go 'round (i.e. makes shit jobs more bearable).

I'm going to apply at McDonalds immediately!!

What a dumbass employee, pot is worth way more than a damn Happy Meal!!

Good pot is expensive.....I paid $450 for an ounce last month...

He should have taken the pot, it's worth it's weight in gold

side note- a hairdresser friend of mine had a client that tipped in cocaine
