I swear officer, I didn't inhale!

Putting the old excuses to shame ("It's not mine, I'm just holding it for a friend!" "I didn't inhale, I swear" "Officer, I'm so sorry, I will NEVER do this again what a MISTAKE")
We have THIS, out of NYC:
"Dude my WIFE spiked my MEATBALLS with the pot! I didn't even know!"


The New York Police Department fired a veteran counterterrorism detective who flunked a drug test. They said his claims that his wife served him marijuana-spiked meatballs simply weren’t credible.

With the dismissal, Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly rejected an earlier recommendation by an administrative judge that the detective be reinstated. Kelly has final say on firings.

Chiofalo is a 22-year-veteran assigned to the Joint Terrorism Task Force. He was suspended without pay in 2005 after a random drug test found marijuana in his system. The officer denied ever using drugs and demanded a hearing.

During an investigation, his wife said she had secretly substituted marijuana for oregano in her meatball recipe in hopes of forcing him to leave police work.

The detective’s lawyers also presented evidence that she had passed a lie-detector test, and offered testimony from a toxicologist that the excuse was valid.
