SPRINGFIELD, Mass. — Massachusetts police say a Springfield man blew through a stop sign and also blew a cloud of marijuana smoke when he was pulled over.
An officer enforcing seat belt laws as part of the annual “Click It or Ticket” campaign saw a vehicle drive through a stop sign Tuesday evening. When the driver stopped and rolled down the window, police say, the officer was “covered in a plume of smoke.”
Sgt. John Delaney says the officer asked: “Are you smoking marijuana while operating this motor vehicle?”
The driver allegedly responded: “Why, yes I am, Officer.”
The 30-year-old driver was scheduled for arraignment Wednesday on charges of operating under the influence of drugs, failure to obey a stop sign, and failure to wear a seat belt.
