A 21-year-old Oregon man called police to report that ¾ of an ounce of marijuana had been stolen from his car while he was drinking in a bar. After waiting for deputies, he began driving—despite being drunk—and called 911 again to complain. Dispatchers found him difficult to understand, though, because he kept pausing to vomit. When police found the man, he told them he was looking for the people who stole his “weed.” They arrested him for driving under the influence, the Statesman Journal reports. (More Oregon stories.)
