Marijuana Misspelling Tips Off Cops to Clinton Twp. Man’s Bogus Medical Card

Marijuana misspelling alerts police to man’s fake medical card

Between the expiration date and misspelling of the word “marijuana,” police had little difficulty recognizing that a 20-year-old Clinton Township man’s medical marijuana card was a fake.

Responding to a report of a suspicious person Feb. 25 in the 20000 block of S. Miles Street, police met the 20-year-old who told them he had been “just walking” in the area.

He submitted to a search and was found with a baggie of marijuana in his sock, according to police. The man produced a medical marijuana card, but police noticed that not only was it expired, it also had the word marijuana spelled wrong.

He was arrested for possession of a controlled substance.
