Man arrested after allegedly stashing pot near police department
(Stamford-AP, July 30, 2005 6:55 PM) _ Police say a Stamford man on his way to court this week stashed $1,500 worth of marijuana under a rock outside police headquarters.
When 21-year-old Daniel Garcia returned two hours later, all he found was a note that said, "You're under arrest. Look up at the police station."
He was then arrested by two police officers watching from inside.
Garcia's father, Armando, says Daniel claims police planted the drugs on him.
Daniel Garcia has been charged with possession of marijuana and possession of marijuana with intent to sell.
Police Lieutenant Jon Fontneau says people often take drugs or weapons out of their pockets before they're searched at the courthouse. But he says they don't usually dump the items 100 feet from the police station.
Garcia was released on $500 bond and is due back in court August Eleventh.
