When you gotta go, you gotta go

Some people are deeply, deeply stupid. These guys happen to be a couple of those people.

Sometimes when nature calls, there's no time to delay, but a Kentucky man sure picked the wrong spot for a pit stop.

Michael Ray Hunter, 37, found out Wednesday night that the parking lot of the West Virginia State Police headquarters in South Charleston isn't the right spot.

Trooper J.S. Crane just happened to be walking nearby as Hunter was relieving himself.

As Crane approached, he smelled alcohol. That discovery led Crane to the pickup truck where Hunter's buddy, James Alan Richardson, 40, was checking phone messages.

During a search of the truck, Crane and another trooper found a marijuana pipe and pills for which Richardson had no prescription.

I understand that these guys were probably pretty trashed, but when pulling into that parking lot, the presence of all those police cars should have raised a red flag. Usually, you want to drive your drugs away from the cops. Or so I'm told.
