THIS IS WHY POLICE OFFICERS MAKE THE BIG BUCKS
We'd have assumed it was the gardener.

It could have been a rogue garden gnome. A lot of them carry pipes, too.

I guess you have to look at it in context.

Prison will not be kind to a guy named Mazzola.

Zack the Weed Man - sounds gardenerish to me too.
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | May 30, 2008 at 09:23 AM
Maybe it had more to do with where he was from?
Posted by: CJrun | May 30, 2008 at 09:39 AM
Anytime you read a news article that includes the line, "It started out as a simple traffic stop," hilarity inevitably ensues... just sayin'
Posted by: frodolives | May 30, 2008 at 09:40 AM
How many Zacks did he know?
Posted by: Reddsuss | May 30, 2008 at 09:57 AM
I'm not an attorney (paging Eleanor) but seems like the officers were over-stepping their bounds when they used the kid's cell.
Posted by: random thunking | May 30, 2008 at 10:00 AM
Well he could have been "Zack the pot man". Ya know, the guy that sells kitchenware??

Do I have to change my ICE number too?
In case of emergency? (Not my meth dealer.)

Guy could probably use a drink . . .

Reddsuss --
2 Zacks on my teen's baseball team. Both are catchers. The only way I can keep track of which one is playing is by tracking the number of passed balls.

Over the years we have learned to never, ever ask the gardner to do anything out of their normal routine. Like plant something. Or to not clop off the sprinkler heads with the mower without telling me.

What's what, officer? Oh, you mean "Reliable Escort Service"? Uh, looks like the repair work on my Ford is done. No, I'll call 'em back myself. You don't have to.

*zips in*™
Now, now, Stevie, snarkiness is not a becoming personality trait. :)
random, they call it an 'inventory search'. Once you're under arrest, they get to do that. It's b.s., but nothing to be done about it. :)
