If there were a handbook titled “How Not to Bail Out Your Friend,” this story would be the first chapter.
According to the Bryan County Sheriff’s Office, a man showed up at the county jail last week with the noble mission of bonding out a buddy. What he brought with him: a suitcase and duffle bag that reportedly smelled like a dispensary on wheels.
Instead of discreetly leaving his “vacation luggage” at home, the man wheeled it straight through the jail lobby. Pretty soon, everyone inside was catching a whiff of the overwhelming marijuana odor. Realizing the plan was unraveling faster than a Netflix true-crime plot, he pushed the bags back outside—because, of course, moving your felony ten feet to the left totally erases the evidence.
Enter K9 Vasko, the four-legged officer who lives for moments like this. The dog zeroed in on the duffle bag with the kind of enthusiasm usually reserved for free ice cream. Inside: a felony stash of marijuana and, just to really seal the deal, a firearm.
Instead of walking out with his friend, the man walked into a cell with fresh charges:
- Two counts of crossing guard lines with illegal narcotics/firearm (felony)
- Felony possession of marijuana over an ounce
- Felony possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony
The Sheriff’s Office summed it up best: if you’re planning to visit the jail, maybe don’t bring your stash and your gun. Otherwise, you’re not picking your friend up—you’re checking yourself in.
