NEW CASTLE, Del. -- Police responding to a report of a suspicious man carrying a gun instead found two legs sticking out of a homemade igloo. New Castle County police said the legs belong to Delaware teen who was arrested Wednesday after he was found to be carrying a survival knife, a hammer, 7.5 grams of marijuana and two marijuana pipes.
I dunno, but I'm thinkin' it might be a drug-related incident. It's certainly possible, y'know?
County police spokesman Senior Cpl. Trinidad Navarro said the teen was released to his parents. Police said he was charged with carrying a concealed deadly weapon, carrying a concealed deadly instrument, possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of marijuana.

It sounds like a massive overreaction for carrying a boyscout knife to me.

#3  This seems like more of a case of police harassment work to me.

That's better. Read the article. He was released to his parents. That's not going to budge most people's harassment meter.

#1  This seems like more of a case of police harassment to me. Some busybody reports a person carrying a gun. The cops show up to investigate, find no gun, but use the excuse to poke through his stuff at which point they find the weed. If survival knives are illegal then you shouldn't be able to buy them at Wal-Mart. And the hammer? You have got to be kidding me. This is just another story in a growing trend. People calling the cops when they notice someone with a gun. What are the carry laws in Maryland? Are they that backward that guns must be completely concealed at all times? I see no crime here to warrant the search that found the "illegal" marijuana.
