Man tosses bag of marijuana into security tray

[Wonk]

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) -- A man going through a courthouse metal detector emptied his pockets, tossing a small bag of marijuana into the security tray.

When Clyde Lamar Pace II realized what he had done, he tried to flee. But he ran the wrong way from Polk County deputies into a locked revolving door.

(snip)

Pace was arrested for drug possession and resisting arrest. The arrest caused him to miss a scheduled hearing on drug and driving charges filed after a traffic stop last month.

"When we throw them up against the wall, we don't find Mensa cards in their pockets." I forget the name of the cop who said this but I see it remains true.

:shrug: I have been in situations where I have had to empty my pockets and felt a baggie in there and grabbed everything around it and emptied my pockets easily without exposing the baggie.

Oh well, sorry about your luck there Buddy.
