Burger King cashier calls cops on 'herb' smoker

[December 03, 2011]  DELTONA, Fla. (AP) -- Authorities say a central Florida man was arrested after jokingly trying to buy drugs at a Burger King drive-thru.

The Volusia County Sheriff's Office reports that 32-year-old Shawn Porter and a friend placed an order for "blunt and some herbs" at a Deltona Burger King Thursday night.

A cashier smelled marijuana coming from their car and jotted down the license plate of the car, and then a supervisor called 911.

A deputy located Porter's house by running the tag number and was waiting when Porter arrived home with a Burger King bag in his hand. The deputy reported finding 28 grams of marijuana in the car.

Porter was charged with drug possession. He was being held on $1,000 bond. It's not immediately known if he has an attorney.
