Elderly couple pulled over after their Buckeye car decal is mistaken for a marijuana leaf [View all]

Apparently Ohio State – and college football in general – isn’t very popular in the state of Tennessee.
At least not with the police.

Bonnie Jonas-Boggioni, 65, and her husband were driving home to Plano, Texas from Columbus after attending her mother-in-law’s funeral when a pair of black police SUV’s stopped the couple a few miles outside of Memphis.

“Knowing I wasn’t speeding, I couldn’t imagine why,” Jonas-Boggioni told the Columbus Dispatch. “They were very serious. They had the body armor and the guns.”

On the back of Jonas-Boggioni’s car was a Buckeye leaf decal, similar to the one players’ have on their helmets, and cops mistakenly thought it was marijuana leaf.

Yes, really.

“What are you doing with a marijuana sticker on your bumper?” one of the cops asked Jonas-Boggioni.
After trying to explain that the sticker was not a marijuana leaf and that she and her husband were not trafficking drugs cross-country, the police advised Jonas-Boggioni to remove the sticker as to not cause any more confusion.

This is so stupid that it is almost unbelievable. I know some cops are idiots, but not sure how any cop could think they have a right to pull over someone because of a pot bumper sticker. And the cops are stupid enough to think a real drug runner would advertise it?

I hope they find the cops who did this. They will never get punished (except a paid vacation) but at least we could make fun of them.
