Who you gonna call?

Hey, when armed robbers bust into your place and steal stuff from you, you'd better call the cops, right? Well, not always:

A man was arrested for drug possession after telling authorities that two masked gunmen had stolen 150 pounds of marijuana from his home.

Hidalgo County sheriff's deputies arrived at the home near Penitas in South Texas to find the door kicked in and nearly 15 pounds of pot lying on the floor, Sheriff Lupe Trevino said.

You know, I'm sure he was feeling stressed after the holdup, but it probably would have been a good idea to clean that up. On the other hand, we don't seem to be dealing with a real genius here.

Jose Guadalupe Flores, 35, escaped while the men ransacked the house but returned later and told the deputies he had been wrapping the drugs for shipment when the intruders arrived.

"The guy walked right up and said the drugs were his," Trevino said. "That's not the smartest move."

Flores, an illegal immigrant from Mexico, was charged with felony possession of marijuana at an arraignment hearing Monday. Because of his immigration status, Flores will be jailed until his case is heard.

I don't know a whole lot about the Mexican justice system, but that may have something to do with why the guy called the cops. Perhaps, south of the border, it's okay to call the police if someone steals your drugs, so long as they get to wet their beaks. That might also explain why he left fifteen pounds of the stuff lying around.

That, or maybe he's just a huge dumbass.
