14 DAY TRIAL // What was supposed to be a night of fun and relaxation ended seriously bad for a man in Austintown, Ohio, who, after getting a wee too high on marijuana, had to call the cops for help.
Luckily for him, Austintown Township police crews were more than willing to come to his rescue. After all, it's not all that often that people call the emergency line needing help navigating an especially bad trip.
The man wasn't quite himself
In a report, the law enforcement officers who handled this case explain that, when they found him, the 22-year-old man, whose identity hasn't yet been disclosed, was lying on the floor of his home.
He had been smoking weed and so wasn't feeling quite right. He was curled up in a fetal position and kept groaning. In fact, that's how the police officers figured out where he was. They just followed the sound of his groans.
All around him, the man's rescuers found piles of junk food. Doritos, Goldfish crackers and Chips Ahoy cookies were all on the menu. Unfortunately, the young man had no control of his hands and so couldn't dig in.
The police officers asked the man for the keys to his car. They searched and, sure enough, they found a glass jar of marijuana as well as paraphernalia, a glass pipe with marijuana residue, and two packs of rolling papers included.
The young man wasn't arrested
As bad as the 22-year-old was feeling when he was discovered, the law enforcement officers sent to his home decided not to arrest him or charge him. At least not at the time. They did, however, offer him treatment, The Vindicator reports.
Despite having called for help himself, the man refused medical care. Now that he's recovered, it's unclear whether the police will change their mind about letting him go and file charges against him.
