Man comes to court hearing with drugs

(Court TV) — If you're appearing in court because of one alleged crime, why show up with evidence that will get you charged with committing another one?
That is exactly what a 35-year-old man from Everett, Wash., did.
According to the newspaper the Daily Herald, the unidentified man was due in the Snohomish County Courthouse on Feb. 10 on a charge of illegal possession of stolen property. Visitors to the courthouse are required to pass through a metal detector, but must empty metallic contents in their pockets into designated baskets.
When the man placed his items in a basket, a guard noticed a small bag that looked suspicious, the report said. The guard handed the bag to an Everett police officer, who determined that the substance inside was cocaine.
The man was charged with possession of illegal drugs and booked into the Snohomish County Jail.
