A Kingsport man was arrested Tuesday on felony drug charges after police discovered 3.66 ounces of marijuana in his box of Lucky Charms cereal.
According to an incident report from Kingsport police, officers were dispatched to Kings View Apartments, 901 Larry Neil Way, at about 10:40 Tuesday morning. The police report says officers were called due to a "possible disturbance" in apartment no. 8.
Officers report hearing "some noises" from the apartment when they arrived, and knocked on the door. It was answered by the resident, Mitchell Cody Johnson, 22.
Police explained why they were there, and Johnson allegedly appeared to be "very nervous." He then consented to a search of his apartment, where officers found a Tennessee parole paper on his refrigerator. When officers asked for his probation card, it identified Johnson as having a misdemeanor drug conviction.
Johnson allegedly denied having any illegal drugs in his apartment, and then consented to a K-9 search of his apartment. The dog, Sinko, hit on narcotics in the washing machine room.
Police report a strong odor of marijuana coming from a shelf that held several boxes of cereal. Upon checking a Lucky Charms box they found two large plastic baggies containing a green leafy substance. Johnson allegedly advised police that the baggies contained marijuana and that it belonged to him.
Police say the marijuana and baggies weighed 3.66 ounces.
Johnson was arrested for possession of more than a half ounce of marijuana and maintaining a dwelling where illegal narcotics are sold, stored or used.
Insert "magically delicious" joke...
“They’re always after me Lucky Charms!”
You have no idea why Mrs L and I are laughing our asses off right now and the sad part of it is that we can never, ever explain why this is so funny.

Aw come on! We all know cereals often come with special free prizes in the box. This guy didn’t know it was in there.
Actually I think all those are various forms of shrooms rather than marshmallow. LOL.
I’m probably getting cynical in my old age, but I’m having trouble buying the idea that the police just went there for a “possible disturbance” and ended up busting a guy for felony drug possession by sheer chance. I think it more likely they had their suspicions and/or some info (but not enough for a warrant) and talked their way in. From the sound of it, the perp wasn’t the brightest bulb in the lamp, so it probably wasn’t too hard to do.
Owner: ‘Do you have a search warrant?’
Police; ‘No.’
Owner: ‘Then you may not, Please leave my property and respect my right to be left alone. Thank you.’
shut the door on them and CALL YOUR AYTTORNEY, ALSO GET RID OF THE DOPE, DUMMY!
Moral of the story: DO NOT TALK TO THE POLICE, THEY ARE NOT YOUR FRIENDS!
Well now ya don’t have to tell us......:o)
Lucky Charms, they’re magically...wait, what?
Please explain.
(We won’t tell your secret.)
Hey, ya got the hooch and ya got the munchy stuff.
What more could an unwashed person want?
Add some good cartoons on the TV and it's practically heaven.
By the way, my dad has gotten great use out of that tennis ball machine. Tendinitis in his right elbow has had him relearning his strokes left handed. The machine has been great for that. Thanks again for coming through in a pinch and getting that thing shipped out.
Lol! I’d pretty much forgot. I was at the Wash state surplus store about two months ago and remembered, and kinda wondered how it went.
Glad he got/is getting good use out of it. I have two pretty high end graphite rackets sitting in my closet I haven’t touched in years.
Merry Christmas!
I wonder if the main reason most dopers are caught is ..... they’re high on dope at the time of their arrest?
Regift. Merry Christmas!!!
