He's like a Scooby-Doo villain but for good? He would have gotten away with it too if it wasn't for those pesky cops.

And one, packed with concentrates, labeled "He is resin!"

In true Easter Egg Hunt fashion, one egg was not recovered until someone's grandchild randomly found it a day later.

Thought you were joking

"The suspect posted four photos on Facebook showing each location as hints to locate the eggs," the release said. "He also posted a photo of five plastic eggs in the seat of a vehicle. Officers found four eggs and believed he had not placed the fifth."

Officers learned they were incorrect in their assumption when a man and his granddaughter turned the final egg into the department the next day, having also found it in a park, per the release. In total, officers said they recovered over a quarter of an ounce of marijuana

over a quarter of an ounce of marijuana

So like $100-200 worth of weed? Unless it was like shake or something.

[–] Kit@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 3 hours ago

A quarter oz is $40-$70 at dispensaries in my area (medical legal state)

[–] Confused_Emus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 hours ago

Much less than that. I get an ounce for $100 from my dealer. And he’s competing with dispensaries, so it’s not shake, either.

Paint greased pigs with the numbers 1,2 and 4. Release said pigs. Watch the hilarity ensue.

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 9 points 16 hours ago

Guy was so high he planned it all in detail, then told everyone .... then later realized he hadn't done anything.

[–] bizzle@lemmy.world 9 points 15 hours ago

That's Chad shit

[–] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 9 points 3 hours ago

Why are the police looking for him?

Dont they have better things to do than give people awards or sth?

[–] yarr@feddit.nl 5 points 1 hour ago

This is horrible. Does anyone have the locations of the eggs so I can safely recover them to make sure no one else smokes those dank nuggs?

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 5 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

That is the worst URL I've seen in a really long time. Story was funny though.
