Man Learns That Taunting Cops w/ Weed on Instagram Is Bad Idea
A 30-year-old South Carolina man discovered the hard way that flipping off the local sheriff while holding a blunt and then posting the pic to Instagram may not be a wise decision.
Jeremy Clayton kicked off a fateful chain of events after posting a photo on the site, which appears to show a hand holding a half-smoked joint and flipping off an online photo of Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott.
A concerned citizen sent the photo to Sheriff Lott, who then put his Drug Suppression Team on the case.
Undercover deputies successfully purchased marijuana from Clayton on three separate occasions. When police busted down Clayton’s door, they arrested him and 24-year-old Margaret Rogers.
Clayton was charged with distribution of marijuana and possession with intent to distribute, and Rogers was charged with possession.
Clayton makes no secret about his love of herb. His Instagram and Facebook pages are loaded with pics of him smoking weed and showing it off for the camera.
