Talk about being stupid. Link Smelly Money Lands Indiana Man in Jail 2 hours, 47 minutes ago Strange News - AP GREENSBURG, Ind. - A man who went to the sheriff's department to bond out his brother-in-law also ended up in jail when police realized the money he handed them reeked of mar1juana. Timothy Richards, 45, of Columbus, went to the Decatur County Sheriff's Department and when he handed dispatcher Julie Meyers $400, she counted it and then noticed something unusual. "When I walked back toward the jail I noticed the money was damp and smelled funny," Meyers said. A jailer who sniffed the money told her it smelled like mar1juana, she said. Indiana State Trooper Chip Ayers was nearby and asked for the money, she said. He smelled it and then asked Richards for consent to search him and his car, Meyers said. Ayers found a pipe and a small amount of mar1juana and charged Richards with possession. If convicted, he could face six months to three years in prison and a $10,000 fine. Richards remained in jail for several hours Tuesday — until his brother-in-law made bail and came back to pay his own $250 bond.
