• Police in Bourne were called after reports of two drivers brawling on a street, including Michael Barboza, who allegedly used a rake to smash the other driver’s windshield.

   

  When that tactic didn’t send a strong enough message of intimidation, Barboza, 33, allegedly went to his nearby home and returned with a gun. According to the Bourne Police Department, Barboza went so far as to aim the gun at the other driver.

  <!-- / ad-container -->  

  Police arrived shortly afterward and determined that “a road rage incident” had occurred before Barboza was placed under arrest.

   

  As police executed a search warrant for Barboza’s home in search of the gun, they noticed evidence of “a substantial grow house” used to cultivate marijuana.

• To add insult to the literal injury he likely sustained when confronting the other driver, police tacked on charges of possessing, cultivating and distributing marijuana.

   

  Barboza, who was already under arrest for assault and battery, assault with a dangerous weapon, and malicious destruction of property, is expected to be arraigned on Monday.

          Bozeman couple charged with letting 2-year-old smoke marijuana
• Bozeman couple charged with letting 2-year-old smoke marijuana
• A Bozeman couple is accused of letting a 2-year-old smoke marijuana.
• Lucas Keith Wilson and Camilla Rose Samuels were each charged with single counts of felony and misdemeanor endangering the welfare of a child.
• On Aug. 8, Samuels' mother told investigators that she had found a video on her daughter's iPhone that showed Wilson's 2-year-old son putting a smoking pipe in his mouth. Samuel's mother was unsure if the boy had ingested any drugs.
• In January 2013, the couple started drinking and smoking both marijuana and methamphetamine, including in front of Wilson's 2-year-old boy.

• During Samuels' second trimester of pregnancy, Wilson tested positive for drugs and they were evicted from their home. The couple then moved to Washington, where they continued to use marijuana and methamphetamine.

   

     

   

  Eventually, the couple decided to come back to Montana. They said they intended to distribute marijuana and meth from Washington to Montana. However, the couple consumed all the substances they had by the time they got back to Montana, they said.

   

     

   

  When the couple returned to Bozeman, they said they lived in a tent at the Sunrise Campground, where the video of the 2-year-old boy with the pipe was taken.

   

     

   

  Both Wilson and Samuels told investigators the 2-year-old boy was allowed to smoke marijuana five times once they returned to Bozeman.

   

     

   

  Wilson said the boy would get mellower after smoking. Wilson said he didn't know why he let the boy smoke marijuana and said it was pretty stupid that he allowed him to do it.
• Wilson also told investigators that while the couple was in the hospital when their child was born, the two would smoke marijuana outside of the hospital. The couple's baby tested positive for marijuana and meth when he was born.

• New Jersey Man Accused Of Selling Rice Krispies As Pot

• Warning idiot alert! Dopey man calls police to complain that his cannabis had been stolen

• Aaron Chambers, 31, was branded as "crackers" by his OWN solicitor after his hasty actions led officers to thousands of pounds worth of skunk cannabis he was growing in his home.

  Chambers pleaded guilty to a charge of producing a controlled Class B drug when he appeared at Kirklees Magistrates' Court on Tuesday.

  The drugs were found after police visited Chambers' home in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, on October 9.

• Alex Bozman, prosecuting, said: "Police attended at the address in response to a report of a man shouting for the police.

  "Mr Chambers was there and said somebody had broken in and stolen cannabis plants."
• After searching the property officers found NINE plants in the cellar along with equipment used to grow the plants including heating lamps and extractor filters.

• The street value of the stash was in excess of £4,000.

  Chambers said in a police interview that his door had been broken and somebody had taken some cannabis, although the quantity of the drugs taken is unknown.

  "A man shouting that his cannabis has been stolen is fairly ridiculous," said Bob Carr, mitigating.

  "It's like an armed robber calling police to say that his gun has been stolen - it's crackers."

  Chambers will be sentenced in the new year.

• Goetz hit on pretty cop who busted him for pot

• Subway vigilante Bernard Goetz had been lamely hitting on the young undercover narcotics cop who busted him on pot-sale charges Friday night, The Post has learned.

   

  The female undercover had no idea — until after he was in custody — who the “creepy old man” was who chatted her up in Union Square Park, invited her up to his apartment to “get high,” and then allegedly sold her $30 in pot, a source familiar with the investigation said.

• “It sounds like he was definitely trying to pick her up. But what a pickup line — give me $30,” the source said of Goetz who became a part of city lore in 1984 when he shot four youths who he said were threatening him on a downtown 2 train.

   

  Goetz, 65, was busted a short time after leaving his apartment with the cute undercover, who was 40 years his junior.

• Surveillance Is So Dope: Google Earth Helps Bust Pot Farm

• An Oregon man was busted for growing more marijuana than he was legally allowed, but his arrest came not through a raid or a tip, but through satellite imagery provided by Google Earth, the Grants Pass Daily Courier reported.

   

  Police say they got a tip that Curtis W. Croft, 50, was boasting about the amount of the plant he was growing on his property in Grants Pass, Ore. But instead of knocking on his door, authorities looked up the satellite image on the web. The pictures they

• saw showed dozens of neatly laid plants, so Rogue Area Drug Enforcement, a local interagency anti-drug team, sent an aircraft for a closer look and at the same time took a look at state marijuana registration records.

   

  Marijuana has been decriminalized in the state and Croft was authorized to grow marijuana for five people or about 30 plants, but when police raided his property in September, they seized 94 plants.  Croft was arrested on drug charges last week and later released.

   

  This isn’t the first time Google Earth served to help in a weed bust. In 2006, a Racine, Wis., farmer was taken into custody after sheriffs used Google Earth to uncover marijuana growing in a cornfield. In 2009, Swiss authorities netted 1.1 tons of ganja through the mapping application.

• Cat Sneaks Weed Into Moldova Prison, Proving Once and For All That Catnip Is a Gateway Drug
• Authorities say a cat was delivering marijuana to Moldovan prisoners after finding two packages of marijuana strapped to its collar

• They believe someone in the village of Pruncul has been sending the cat, which has been seen entering the facility through a hole in a fence on a regular basis.

   

  That’s just the latest example of cats being used as messengers of contraband goods. In June, security personnel found a cat with cellphones and chargers wrapped around its body perching on a fence at Penal Colony No. 1, near the city of Syktyvkar in the Komi province, 600 miles northeast of Moscow. A white cat was also discovered to be smuggling a saw and drill bits through a prison gate in Brazil last January. And cats have been caught with heroin, once at a prison in the Rostov region of South Russia, as well as in 2010 at a prison in Russia’s Volga Republic of Tatarstan, when a guard dog killed another cat.
