Via Mark Hemingway, who's guest-blogging at The Agitator, here's some hilarious audio of a 911 call from Cpl. Edward Sanchez, formerly of the Dearborn, Mich. police department. Cpl. Sanchez seized some marijuana from a drug suspect, then decided to keep the stuff for himself. He took it home to his wife, who then baked the weed into a batch of brownies. After eating an entire batch, Sanchez freaked out ("I think we're dying...We made brownies and I think we're dead. I really do.") and called for help.
He has resigned from the police force, but won't be charged with a crime.
