Arrested men enjoyed a smoke in squad car
Posted on: Wednesday, 15 July 2009, 12:45 CDT
Two handcuffed suspects managed to contort themselves enough to light up a cigar and a cigarette in the back of a squad car in Cincinnati, police allege.
Police said after being arrested on theft charges last week, Edward Humphrey and Melvin Barnes allegedly worked in tandem to extract the smoking goods from Barnes's pocket and light them, the Cincinnati Enquirer said Wednesday.
The two men, who stand accused of stealing tools from an area business, had previously been told they could not smoke inside the patrol car.
When confronted by one of the arresting officers, Barnes allegedly attempted to rationalize the impromptu smoking session.
"All right look, we're already in trouble," Barnes was quoted as allegedly saying last Thursday. "What do you expect?"
"I expect you to act like an adult and behave yourself. Not the way you are acting," the officer reportedly said in response. "You cannot smoke in the back of a police car."
The Enquirer said the alleged smoking session resulted in both men being charged with disorderly conduct in addition to theft.
Talk about a "Bromance" ... !
I've put less effort into some women I've dated.
I’m surprised that didn’t merit a Tazing.
I smoked in jail when I was a youngster. Not a cigarette. Big deal.

LOL. Which is why you speak of them in the past tense.
No details. Please.
Not the underlying crime, just the smoking in the cop car part.
I did the same thing by myself and ended up hog-tied to floor of the cruiser for the trip to jail.
When I was young...
I finished a hidden beer in the back of a police car and shoved the crushed can under the seat.
...what we got here is a failure to communicate.
OMG THEY HAD A SMOKE! Off with their heads!
You know there's a "butt" joke just waiting to be made, right?
“I’ve put less effort into some women I’ve dated.”
I can relate. I have to admit, I have a certain admiration of the Lads’ style and defiance. If you have to go down, go down swinging.-—JM
You Fort Lauderdale PD and BSO guys know I'm talking about you...
So he had a fag, big deal.
After he had just arrested them for theft, this officer has high expectations.
You cannot smoke in the back of a police car.
I think they demonstrated this wasn't true.
The Enquirer said the alleged smoking session resulted in both men being charged with disorderly conduct in addition to theft.
I'm surprised they didn't punish them worse for the smoking.
Theft - Probation...
Smoking in a police cruiser - 6 months...
Amusement at the reaction of the Cincinnati police - Priceless.
Now *that* is cool.
