In what is a sign of either sheer
stupidity, insane addiction, or interrogation preparation, Rodney Watkins of Roselawn, Ohio lit a
crack pipe in police custody. Not in
front of an undercover cop, but in actual custody. He was arrested at a traffic stop and gave
false identification. He was taken into
custody on felony warrants and taken to the police department.
Fox 19.com reports that after using the bathroom,
he pulled out a crack pipe and lighter and attempted to smoke the remaining crack.
What they don’t report is where Watkins pulled the crack pipe from, and why the
officers hadn’t patted him down effectively enough to find a crack pipe and
lighter before he got to the police station.
Maybe he figured he was done for and
going to spend a lot of time in prison, so he might as well get another hit. Maybe
the litany of charges he faced (theft, drug abuse, obstruction) were long
enough that one more charge for possession wasn’t going to add much to the
sentence. Maybe cocaine is just a really
powerful drug. It probably made the
interrogation easier to handle.
