A drug dealer who was rushing home while carrying a large stash of marijuana accidentally got into a police car and was busted, according to police in Denmark.
Copenhagen police said that they have arrested the drug dealer, who was not identified, after being accused of possessing 1,000 marijuana joints.
The man is facing a charge of possession of marijuana with intent to distribute.
If convicted, he faces up to 8 years in prison.
According to the police investigation, the incident unfolded on Friday night.
The drug dealer just picked up a large stash of 1,000 marijuana joints and he was in a rush to get home.
Since it was dark, the drug dealer got into a police car, mistaking it for a taxi.
He then asked the driver to take him home.
When the man in the front seat turned around, the drug dealer was shocked to see that he was a police officer and not a taxi driver.
The officer detained him and searched his bags, where the 1,000 marijuana joints were found.
Police wrote about their lucky drug bust on Twitter.
“@KobenhavnPoliti. Last night, a drug dealer wanted to quickly get home and he sat in a taxi. The surprise was great when he discovered that it was a police car he had stepped in. The officers were happy to see him when he had about 1,000 joints in his bags.”
