Weeds arrested for marijuana possession

I'm back on the work rotation for a week and Blogger has only been working in fits and starts, so I don't know how much I'll get posted today but here's one for your afternoon amusement. This is one of those stories that you love for the irony, not for the importance of the news.

BETHEL -- Two teens from Cheshire were arrested on drug charges Sunday.

According to a statement sent by Bethel police this morning, officers stopped a car that was driving erratically on Route 6 at about 9:20 p.m. Officers then brought in a canine unit and searched the car. Police said they found marijuana and drug paraphernalia in the car.

Gregory Weed, 18, was charged with driving under the influence, possession of drug paraphernalia and failure to use a turn signal. Timothy Weed, 19, was charged with possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. Both were released on $100 cash bonds pending a Dec. 12 court date.
