Per Scott Hewitt of the Vancouver Columbian, Tim Lincecum is facing charges for misdemeanor possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia after being stopped for speeding on Interstate 5 in Washington last week.*
Apparently on October 30th, Lincecum was driving his 2006 Mercedes-Benz 74 mph in a 60 mph zone. (Not with pot in the car, man!)The police officer smelled marijuana after Lincecum rolled down his window and asked Lincecum to hand it over at which time Tim gave him a small pouch containing 3.3 grams of pot and a pipe. He was then cited and released.
Ok, first off, this is obviously not the crime of the century and I am not at all "outraged" or even mildly bent out of shape regarding this. I grew up in the 70's so....
I also know that it is not proper to judge somebody solely by their appearance.
That said, how many people that have that type of Beatles mop are not taking something on the illegal side.
Not making any judgements but Beatles haircut = something going on.
I am a parent. My kids (with short hair) sometimes hang out at skate parks. I just know these things.
*Do reporters randomly go through police reports hoping to find something interesting or do they (I am guessing that this is more likely) have to be tipped off to this type of stuff? Just wondering.
