Man Smokes Pot While His Child is Born

Posted on Nov 13, 2010 in Drugs

A man in western Pennsylvania found the anxiety of childbirth too much to endure unaided. While his child was being born, he decided to bypass the customary cigar and celebrate with a joint.

She alerted hospital security who called police at 3:20 a.m. The police arrived to find the man puffing away in the hospital’s designated smoking area. He told police, “I’m having a baby and wanted to get a buzz.” The father then gave police a bag of marijuana that he had been hiding in his shoe. As forthcoming as he was, the father will still be facing marijuana possession charges. The man was able to be released to a family member, but in New Orleans anyone charged with possession will be taken to jail. If you or anyone you know has been arrested for the possession of an illegal substance, contact Bloom Legal today at 599-9997, so we can fight for you.
