SPRINGFIELD, Ohio — A woman experienced reefer madness when she attacked two women after learning their dog ate her stash of weed, according to the Springfield News-Sun. Springfield Police arrested Desarae Smith, 20, after they responded to a call saying Smith refused to leave the caller's residence because her dog ate Smith's pot.
Police arrived at the residential home around 7 PM Monday evening. A woman at the residence said that one of her 22 dogs ate Smith's marijuana accidently. She said that she told Smith that she refused to pay for the weed, prompting Smith to refuse to leave the residence until she did so.
Police say that after the women argued, Smith fell asleep on the sofa and the woman called the police. Officers arrived at the home to find Smith asleep on the sofa. The officers woke Smith and instructed her to leave the woman's residence.
Smith became confrontational and demanded her pot money as officers instructed her to calm down and gather her things to leave. Police said that Smith grabbed her things and was proceeding to leave as she continued to use offensive language.
