“Route 80 pot bust follows trip to NYC for peanut butter, pastrami”
“Erratic lane changes on Route 80 and a claimed hankering for peanut butter and pastrami led Roxbury police to arrest two New Mexico residents for having roughly three pounds of marijuana in the bed of their pickup truck, according to a report in the Daily Record.
The report said Patrolman Rich Ricco stopped the 2008 Toyota pickup for disregarding marked lanes after making a series of lane changes on westbound Route 80 at 10:43 a.m., Detective Sam Zarro said Tuesday. James Garfield, 55, and Robin Harrington, 56, both of Feliz, N.M., were interviewed, and Ricco noticed inconsistencies in their stories, police said.
“They went to New York to buy pastrami and peanut butter,” Ricco told the Daily Record.
The officer found it suspicious that the pair would travel from New Mexico to New York for food. So he searched the vehicle and found the marijuana, according to the Daily Record.
It’s unclear if the suspects planned to eat the peanut butter on the pastrami.”
