A De Queen, Ark., man made it too easy for a deputy to find his marijuana.
He put it behind his left ear.
Andrew Hernandez, 22, went to his front door when he heard someone knocking and apparently forgot he had a rolled marijuana cigarette behind his left ear.
Sevier County Deputy Chris Wolcott and Reserve Deputy Wendall Randall were “working a warrant roundup” finding people who failed to follow their sentences. Hernandez had a warrant for arrest for failure to comply with his community service. He had received a traffic citation and was sentenced to community service, said Lt. Mike Wilson, an investigator for the Sevier County Sheriff’s Department.
Hernandez was taken into custody for the outstanding warrant for failure to comply on a possession charge and is now facing a misdemeanor charge for a controlled substance--marijuana for having the cigarette behind his ear.
