The best place to get high in town may have been the police station.

Cops in the small eastern Pennsylvania town of Weatherly (search) had been complaining for months about the smell of marijuana smoke in the office, the pot pipes lying around, the seized drugs that disappeared.

On Wednesday, their chief of 10 years, Brian S. Cara (search), was arrested by state troopers, reports The Morning Call of Allentown.

"I was really shocked to find out everything he was supposed to have done," Weatherly Mayor Joseph E. D'Andrea told the newspaper. "If he has had problems and needed help, we could have helped him."

The borough of 2,600 people, about midway between Wilkes-Barre and Allentown, has three full-time and six part-time police officers.

Cara, 38, did not immediately return a phone message left at his home.

State Attorney General Jerry Pappert said the probe started in Sept. 2003 when Weatherly cops told state authorities suspicious things had been disappearing for months.

Funny, 'cause this story kind of hits close to home.

Thats impossible. The police are law abiding citizens that never take advantage of their position of authority. heh.

My training instructor that I worked under for a summer job at a call center once told me he had to smoke up a cop in order to avoid a ticket. This doesn't surprise me.

My kind of cop!

"If he has had problems and needed help, we could have helped him

You know you can't trust your own instincts. Now I want you to take this down to the analyze and have it labbed. No wait, I'll take care of it myself.

What a dick. Using his own logic, he basically stole the marijuana from kids, forced them to pay fines, and smoked the stuff himself.

That's the first thing that popped into my mind too!

That, too, is one ballsy cop. He was probably disatisfied with his life and took to forming and addictive personality, seeking out things he knows he's not supposed to have.
