A driver in Ohio tried to avoid a weed bust by swallowing his stash, but ended up choking on it.
Dash cam footage of the stop shows the driver having trouble breathing. The trooper tells him to step out to try to dislodge what’s caught in his windpipe. (See video below.)
After a few Heimlich thrusts, the driver tries to throw up, but it’s still not working. That’s when the trooper really applied some force, which worked.
Afterward, the driver admitted he swallowed a gram of weed, and apologize to the officer.
He was cited for speeding, failure to wear a seat belt, and marijuana possession.
DUMBASS!
Don’t try to swallow a bag of drugs prior to getting pulled over in an attempt to keep a trooper from finding them. Luckily, Tpr. Hoskin from our Ravenna Post was alert and able to assist the man who was choking on a bag of illegal marijuana. pic.twitter.com/LqgbOhOEsW
