Yeah, yeah, we all know the big thing about serving on a jury being our civic duty and all, but, let's face it, most of us would rather avoid it, if at all possible. One can only wonder if that may be the sentiment that prompted a 46-year-old British man to recently commit actions he surely must have realized would get him tossed off the jury of a rape case being held at the Chester Town Court.
According to news reports, the gentleman in question went to the courthouse toilet to relieve himself- or so everyone originally thought. It seems, however, that, instead of taking a "potty" break, he ended up taking a "pot" break. The cops got suspicious when they smelled the unmistakable aroma of a burning joint wafting from the area of the men's room. The authorities entered and discovered the juror in question puffing away on a doobie. He was, of course, placed under arrest by the horrified law enforcement officials. Later, he was hauled into court and immediately taken off the jury he was serving on.
Face it, this man must either have been pretty bored or amazingly asinine to light up a marijuana joint in a courthouse. Or...was he crazy...like a fox??
