Houston police: Why do you think they call it dope?

A trio of Houston police officers may have finally provided an answer as to why cops like to hang out at the doughnut shop.

A 19-year-old suspect the officers arrested in May claims that the policemen ate his pot-laced brownies during a drug bust. Now a person collared for something of the sort might not be the most credible witness for such allegations. However, the officers allegedly provided their own ammunition for the young man’s claim after they went out to their patrol cars and began typing messages to each other on their mobile computers. Messages which were kept by the police department indicated one of the officers proclaimed he was “So HIGH … good munchies.”

Other messages talked about places to eat still being open once the officers’ shift was over.

Media report say the officers are still on the job but will be investigated by Internal Affairs and will be drug tested. Since this alleged event took place in May it is unlikely the pot they allegedly consumed back then would even show up as positive. Now if they’ve been burning a few lately that might be another story.

Knock, knock, knock.

“Who’s there?”

“Houston police”

“Houston police’s not here, Man. Neither is Dave.”
