Smells Like A Dumb Move

A Florida woman is facing a drug charge after encouraging a police officer to get nosy during a traffic stop – by asking her if the inside of her vehicle smelled like marijuana to her.

The 47-year-old suspect rolled through a stop sign while not wearing a seat belt, leading the deputy to pull her over. The officer said that the woman appeared to be nervous, then asked, "Do you smell that? Don't that smell like weed?"

The woman said she often lets others drive her car and didn't know anything about the contraband, but she must appear in court next week anyway. (NW Florida Daily News)
