Florida Man Calls 911 to Report His Own Stolen Marijuana

JACKSONVILLE — Deputies responded to a frantic 911 call from a local man reporting a theft of “approximately $400 worth of property.” Upon arrival, the man explained someone had broken into his shed and stolen his cannabis plants. When officers explained they couldn’t file a theft report for illegal substances, the man demanded to speak to their supervisor, insisting he had “a receipt from the gas station for the seeds.” “He was very persistent,” said Deputy Martinez. “He kept saying we should dust for prints and check security cameras. He even asked if we could bring in a K-9 unit.” The man was cited for possession of drug paraphernalia after officers discovered his growing operation while investigating the alleged theft. He reportedly asked if he could still file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau.
