News U-Haul, U-Snooze, U-Lose: Name that criminal!

Posted by Matt Davis on Wed, Feb 14 at 3:59 PM

At the risk of repeating myself, crime is no laughing matter. But after some half-decent entries in yesterday’s contest, here’s the second “nickname that criminal” contest, and this time, it’s a dynamic duo!potstashers.jpg29-year-old Paul Gross (left) and 28-year-old Robert Cox (right) were arrested just before midnight in outer NE last night, after neighbors saw them carrying more than 200 marijuana plants from a U-Haul into their house. From the cops:

Officers arrived and quickly identified the correct house by following the trail of broken and discarded marijuana leaves from the street up to the front door.
So, budding nicknamers (GET IT? “budding”?! HA! HA HA HA HA!), you have these things to work with:

1.The U-Haul angle.
2.Their names are “Gross” and “Cox”.
3.They both look pretty stoned.
4.No, really, look at them.
5.How hard can it be?
6.Almost forgot. The pot!potplants200.jpgI don’t know about you, but I’m getting creative just looking at that picture. PS. All “criminals” are not guilty until so-proven in a court of law. I know: Ridiculous. But so true. So so true. Don’t sue me.

This is almost as much fun as doing this exact thing all day. Check out http://inmatereleases.org/ and see if your neighbor's been busted for PCS II lately!
