New Orleans police make easiest drug arrest in the history of law enforcement. New Orleans prosecutor Jason Cantrell was arrested after a joint fell out of his pocket in open court, in front of two police officers.

Quote
...Flot said Cantrell was talking to an officer when the joint flew.

Sources painted a comical picture of the incident, saying a pair of cops glanced at the joint on the ground, then at each other before making arguably the easiest collar in the annals of policework.

Officers were seen chuckling as their colleagues led Cantrell out of the courtroom about 4:15 p.m. to write him up....
Cantrell is on the record as favoring mandatory Drug Court for all first-time drug offenders. I wonder if he'll choose that for himself, or just pay the $500 fine. I suspect the latter.
