Thank you DA's office for realizing that the charges were kinda ridiculous.
Pretty funny however.
Man robbed buying crack calls cops who arrest him
HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) - An East Hartford man called police to report he had been robbed while trying to buy crack cocaine.
HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) - An East Hartford man called police to report he had been robbed while trying to buy crack cocaine.
Max Minnefield called police Monday to tell them he had paid a man and a woman $8 for drugs he never received.
Police charged him with criminal attempt to commit possession of narcotics.
During his arraignment Tuesday, Judge Bradford Ward asked Minnefield, "Did you really think the police were going to go after the people?" He added that his question was rhetorical.
Prosecutors later dropped the charges.
Laura Weslund, Minnefield's public defender, said no drugs were ever found.
