Boneheaded in Bellingham
David Jordan, 36, claimed he was aiming at a squirrel when he fired an arrow at the second-floor, fresh-air exercise area of the Whatcom County Jail in Bellingham, Wash. “He had no explanation as to why squirrel hunting requires attaching marijuana to an arrow,” said Sheriff Bill Elfo. But the sheriff pointed out that, if fired at the right angle, an arrow would be able to get through the screen covering the top of the recreation area. Jordan, however, seems to have missed both squirrel and screen, and the arrow — with a few grams of pot in a baggie attached to it — landed on the roof. He was arrested on suspicion of introducing contraband to a corrections facility, resisting arrest, and obstructing law enforcement. He was held in a cell on the first floor.
