Snoop Dogg arrested on marijuana chargeSAN ANTONIO, Texas Mon Jan 9, 2012 8:18pm EST

SAN ANTONIO, Texas (Reuters) - Rapper Snoop Dogg was arrested over the weekend after border control agents found what they said was a small amount of marijuana on his tour bus.
The singer and record producer, 40, was stopped at the same Sierra Blanca, Texas, checkpoint on Saturday where country singer Willie Nelson was arrested for marijuana possession in 2010, customs officials said.
Bill Brooks, a spokesman for U.S. Customs and Border Protection, said agents conducted a routine inspection of the rapper's tour bus on at the U.S.- Mexico border checkpoint east of El Paso and thought they smelled marijuana.
"When our officers did a further inspection, they discovered a small amount of marijuana and turned him over to the Hudspeth County sheriff," Brooks said.
A spokesman for the sheriff's office said Snoop Dogg "freely admitted" the pot belonged to him. He said a dog found a prescription bottle containing rolled marijuana joints and two other containers with marijuana. The rapper was cited for possession of drug paraphernalia, released and given a January 20 court date, authorities said.In 2008, Snoop Dogg and Willie Nelson collaborated on the song and music video "My Medicine," a thinly veiled homage to marijuana. Both artists have made their appreciation of pot an important part of their public personas.

Snoop Dogg with marijuana? In his tour bus? I can hardly believe it. Just like Willie Nelson’s tour bus arrest. Both arrested in Texas, the U.S. gateway for marijuana from Mexico. Semi-truck loads of mj rolling through Texas, and they bust these guys for a couple of joints in the back of the bus.

Police blotter: Mason man reports subliminal messages in porn
Written by Lansing State Journal 3:38 PM, Jan. 5, 2012

January 1 - A Mason resident called to report receiving subliminal messages he detected while watching a pornographic movie purchased in Jackson.

The complainant replayed the portion of the DVD in slow motion for the officer, who did note four words he could read and a series of other words that passed so quickly they could not be read.

The complainant stated he reported the incident only because he had read where Al Qaeda was inserting messages into pornographic movies.

So you report an Al Qaeda porn movie to the Mason, Michigan (population 8,252) police department? Did they confiscate it? How many times did he have to watch this movie in slow motion to discover the message? What is the message?

Man tries to use $1M bill at Walmart

Lexington, N.C. -- Do you have change for a million-dollar bill?

Police say a North Carolina man insisted his million-dollar note was real when he was buying $476 worth of items at a Walmart.

Investigators told the Winston-Salem Journal that 53-year-old Michael Fuller tried to buy a vacuum cleaner, a microwave oven and other items. Store employees called police after his insistence that the bill was legit, and Fuller was arrested.

The largest bill in circulation is $100. The government stopped making bills of up to $10,000 in 1969.

Fuller was charged with attempting to obtain property by false pretense and uttering a forged instrument. He is in jail on a $17,500 bond, and it isn't clear if he has an attorney. He is scheduled to be in court Tuesday.

Say, about that $17,500 bond, can you break a $1M bill?
