Think Before Opening Trunk

A Sheriff's deputy says “I was recently on patrol when I noticed three males drive a car into the lot of a liquor store, walk in and make a purchase. We have had many problems with underage drinkers so I waited until they drove away.

I stopped them and asked the young male driver if he was old enough to purchase liquor. He replied that he was over 21. He looked fairly young so I asked him to show me his driver’s license. I explained that if he was 21 or above, he was free to leave.

“The driver, still seated in the car, patted all of his pockets repeatedly and announced sheepishly that his license was in his trunk.

“The driver got out and opened his trunk which just happened to be full of illegal fireworks along with 5 bags of marijuana wrapped for individual sale.

“The driver then patted his front pants pockets and, with relief, told me he Had found his driver’s license in his front pants pocket. It was there from the beginning.

“The driver, who was old enough to purchase alcohol, and his two companions all went to jail.”
