A Clearwater Police Officer pulled over a car recently after a burglary seeing a marijuana plant sticking out of the window of the car. The back seat was loaded with other potted plants --- and not the kind from the local home supplies store, either.

Clearwater, Florida -- It wasn't exactly the work of a criminal mastermind.

In the early morning hours of July 24, police in Clearwater pulled over a car that was driving without its headlights on near the scene of a burglary.

But, it was what was hanging out of the car's window that really grabbed the officer's attention: a marijuana plant casually sticking out, apparently getting some fresh air.

The back seat of the car was loaded with other potted plants... and not the kind of from the local home supplies store, CPD notes.

The car's passenger reportedly told police they had stolen the potted pot from a house on South Lake Avenue, from an acquaintance who owed him a $100 drug debt.

The passenger, 20 year old Justin Goodloe, and the driver, 19 year old Allen Thomas Barnes, were both charged with manufacturing of marijuana. Further charges could be filed, pending a state attorney's office investigation later this month.

Not even sure it's necessary to say anything smart or witty about this incident. The stupidity of these two is pretty self explanatory. Perhaps sophisticated criminal activity is not in their deck of cards.

Not sure what strain that is, but the colas aren't that fat. Could be how it was grown, but could also just be needing a few more weeks under the lights to finish up.

Either way, what an amazingly stupid thing to do.
