Man brings bag of marijuana to court

People waiting to enter the Tulsa Municipal Court Friday morning received quite a show.

An unidentified man brought a small bag of marijuana into the building. The incident happened around 11 a.m.

Tulsa World reports the man dropped a small bag of marijuana into a security checkpoint bucket. Moments later, the man ran out of the building when a security guard noticed the marijuana.

He wasn’t able to get very far. The guard caught up to him and he was placed in handcuffs.

“That’s the thing I want to stress to people: When you come to court, don’t bring drugs, weapons or paraphernalia,” municipal courts administrator Kelly Brader told the Tulsa World.

The man ended up receiving a citation and he still made his court appearance.
