A pot bust on Wednesday in Manhattan gave the Post the chance to crack wise today: "Pot vendor a 'cereal' dealer," the tabloid crows this morning. Why? Because the dealer in question wasn't just selling bud—he was also allegedly selling pot Rice Krispies Treats—get it? "I guess these guys wanted to take care of the high and the munchies all at once," a hilarious anonymous law enforcement source joked to the paper.
The THC-heavy munchies (48 bricks of 'em) were discovered—along with 11 bags of weed and $300 in cash—in 23-year-old Ariel Herrera's Honda Accord on Wednesday after police saw a 32-year-old man, Logan Delfuegeo, get in the vehicle on 14th Street around 4:45 p.m. The man reportedly exchanged cash for three of the treats. Delfuego was quickly arrested ("I'm busted, I'm busted," he reportedly "whined" before saying he needed the bud for medical reasons) but it took a bit longer to catch Herrera, who abandoned his car and started running downtown.
According to the Post, "Detectives had been patrolling the area between Second and Third avenues, a drug-sales hotspot," when they made the bust—which surprised us. We've been walking that street for a decades now and never once have we been offered drugs there. Are we wearing the wrong clothes? Or is this something to do with that newish IHOP?
