Court gets cut short after smelly weed found in man's underwear
After an overwhelming smell of the sticky icky filled an Ohio courtroom, a man finally admitted he had the stash and pulled two bags of dank nugs from his underwear.
Local news outlet WTOL11 reports that Judge Bernie Bouchard stopped a Hamilton County Municipal Courtroom on Wednesday after the stench allegedly enveloped the room.
The judge was actually pretty chill about the whole thing and gave the offender the ability to give themselves up before calling in drug-sniffing dogs.

Eventually, a man named Darius Dabney came forward and told the judge that he smoked weed earlier that morning. But this judge knows what's up and told Dabney that this weed was fresh, not burnt.
Dabney then either pretends to forget his name or actually forgets his name, and the judge starts to get frustrated.
"You forgot it in your underwear."
"I'm finding you in contempt, sir, for coming to court high, wasting the Court's time, public defender's time, everybody's time that's getting paid here,"Judge Bouchard said. "You can't enter a plea because you're not of sound mind, so you're going to do a day in jail for that on contempt. I'm going to continue your case until tomorrow morning. Your bond is $1,000, anyway."
Bouchard then tells him he has one last chance to hand over the green stuff or he's going to get a felony charge if they do find it, so Dabney pulls the weed out of his underwear.
And this wan't just a little bit of weed. Dabney had one-and-a-half ounces of weed on him. Now considering it stunk up the whole room, it was probably pretty good, so we can estimate that Dabney had about $500 worth of pot on him, according to the average rate for an ounce of high quality pot in Ohio.
When asked why he would do such a thing, Dabney told the judge, "I forgot it in my car, sir."
"You forgot it in your underwear," the judge fired back.
According to WTOL, Dabney was scheduled to appear Friday morning for his initial probation violation.
