I Ain’t Afraid of No Cops

A patrolling police officer in Union, S.C., noticed a car parked at an elementary school — at 4:00 a.m. on a Saturday. He investigated, found an open door, and called for backup. Officers went in to investigate, and followed the scent of burning marijuana, and found two men and three women, aged 24 to 29, who they detained at gunpoint. One of the men had marijuana — and a gun. He was arrested on drug and weapons charges; all five were charged with burglary. All five had a consistent story: they were hunting for ghosts.
