A Florida woman was arrested after she called the police to report that her marijuana had been stolen, despite having two outstanding arrest warrants, reports the NY Post.
Lily Rinker, 23, made the complaint in the early hours of last Thursday from a Best Western hotel in Stuart. According to a police report obtained by The Smoking Gun, Rinker claimed that a man named Carlos, whom she had recently met, had taken half a gram of weed from her hotel room. The stolen marijuana was valued at around $5 to $10, while Rinker had a larger stash worth $30 in her grinder, reports note.
“Rinker stated she did not know what to do so she decided to call the police,”
a probable cause affidavit said.
The police later found out that the woman, who resides in Jupiter, had outstanding arrest warrants in Palm Beach County. According to the report, Rinker had been previously arrested for physically assaulting her father after he shared a photo of her holding a vape on social media. Additionally, a second warrant had been issued because Rinker failed to appear at a probation violation hearing following her conviction for driving under the influence earlier this year.
Although possessing marijuana is against the law in Florida, it remains uncertain if Rinker will face charges over the small amount, as it would typically be considered a misdemeanor offense.
