Not The Best Solution For The Munchies

By John Mesirow

Okay, maybe going to McDonald's when you have the munchies isn't such a bad idea. But let's say, for whatever reason, you try to pay for your food with ... pot! I guess it didn't occur to the hungry gent to sell the weed, and then buy some food? As reported in the Treasure Coast Palm:

A McDonald's cashier called 911 at 12:22 a.m. Monday after Shawn Alexander Pannullo, 27, of the 4800 block of Second Street, Vero Beach, wanted to trade some marijuana for food, according to the arrest affidavit.

The cashier from the McDonald's, located in the 5000 block of 20th Street, provided a description of Pannullo's vehicle. A deputy spotted the car and found marijuana inside, the affidavit said.

Pannullo was charged with possession of cannabis and posted $500 bail Monday.

So did he get the food?

The report didn't indicate what Pannullo ordered at McDonald's or if he paid for the meal through other means.

You call that a report? I demand more thorough police work! Here's the source (with a mug shot).
