Pizza Joint

A man went into a Domino’s in Omaha, Neb., for pizza and chicken Parmesan. But, a police report says, the $50 bill the 24-year-old offered the clerk was turned down: it had gotten ripped and taped back together. Fortunately, he had a $20 bill the clerk was willing to take. But then the customer decided he wanted a beverage, and what he offered in payment for that was even less acceptable than the $50 bill: some marijuana. Cops were called, and they discovered the man had more pot in a can in his backpack, a scale, more cash, and a joint tucked behind his ear. The result is a charge the unnamed man may find harder to deal with than the charges at Domino’s: possession of marijuana with intent to distribute.
