NEW YORK, Sept. 19 (UPI) — New York police allegedly found 50 pounds of marijuana in the home of a 41-year-old man who walked into a police station with a bag of pot, sources say.

Unidentified sources said Benito Barrios walked into a New York police station with a 25-pound bag of marijuana this week and allegedly claimed he found it inside a dresser at the furniture store where he works, the New York Post reported Saturday.

The sources said suspicious police soon asked to search Barrios’ home and, after receiving permission to do so, allegedly found 50 more pounds of marijuana in his back yard.

Sources offered no clues as to Barrios’ motive for turning over the initial 25-pound bag of pot Thursday.

I’ll offer a clue – rank stupidity.  You know I don’t think anyone should have to spend a minute in a police station over marijuana, but if you’re going to walk into a police station with a virtual sign reading, “Hi, I’m a felon, imprison me!” and then give police permission to search your home to build the case to imprison you for fifteen years, perhaps it’s best we remove you from society before you do something harmfully stupid to yourself or others.
