A McDonald's cashier called 911 after a Vero Beach drive-thru customer allegedly offered to pay for his meal with marijuana. The Indian River County Sheriff's Office said the cashier called Monday with a description of the vehicle the suspect had been riding in.
A deputy spotted the vehicle, found marijuana in the car and arrested its occupant, 27-year-old Shawn Alexander Pannullo.
Pannullo was charged with possession of cannabis and posted $500 bail. It was unclear if he had an attorney.
A Sheriff's report did not say what the suspect ordered at McDonald's or if he ultimately purchased the meal using something other than marijuana.

Woman Activist Changes Name to Web Address in Protest
You can call her CutoutDissection.com, Cutout for short, but just don't call her Jennifer.
The former Jennifer Thornburg — whose driver's license now reads Dissection.com, Cutout — wanted to do something to protest animal dissections in schools.
The 19-year-old's new name is also the Web address for an anti-dissection page of the site for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, where she is interning.
"I normally do have to repeat my name several times when I am introducing myself to someone new," she told The Asheville Citizen-Times. "Once they find out what my name is, they want to know more about what the Web site is about."
The Asheville High School graduate who is working in Virginia said she began opposing dissections in middle school after a class assignment to cut up a chicken wing made her uncomfortable. She helped create a policy at her high school that allows students who object to dissections to complete an alternative assignment.
Despite her legally changing the name, she said most of her family members still call her Jennifer.

14-year-old Shot 3 Times During Toilet Paper Prank
A toilet paper prank has led to the shooting of a 14-year-old by a southwestern Michigan man who believed strangers were trying to break into his home.
The victim and four other teens were pulling the prank about 1 a.m. Sunday at a home in Solon Township, about 20 miles northeast of Grand Rapids.
Kent County sheriff's Lt. Jerry Miedema said the teens were intent on draping the house in toilet paper, while the homeowner's "intent was to come out shooting."
Police say three shots were fired from a 12-gauge shotgun, striking the 14-year-old in the chest, stomach and leg. He is recovering at a local hospital.
The homeowner was not arrested, but a prosecutor is looking into possible charges.

Lazy dog walker earns title
A father has been named one of the laziest men in Britain for walking his pet dog while sitting in his car.
Kevin Pyle, 35, gets his son to drive him slowly around the block and, with his arm stretched out of the window, holds a lead attached to his bull mastiff Bruce, who walks alongside.
He claims to cover around four miles a week but never does any walking himself.
He said: "It sounds terrible that I take Bruce for a walk like that, but it saves me from getting wet when it's raining. He really enjoys it and it saves my legs."
Now he's won the title of being the region's Great North Bum.
Mr Pyle, of Fenham, Newcastle, was nominated for the competition by his 18-year-old son Karl.
"My dad is the laziest person I know. When he gets in from work he has a bath and goes straight to bed. He just lies there and watches the TV," said Karl.
"He even shouts down the stairs for us to go up and turn the channel over for him. But even we couldn't believe it when he came up with the idea to take Bruce for a walk like that.
"Dad goes to work at around 4.30am to 5am and he gets me up so I can drive around the block while he holds Bruce's lead. He is so lazy and deserves the title."

Horse tested positive for alcohol
Traffic police in Romania tested a horse for alcohol after the cart it was pulling hit a man who was sitting on a bench.
Witnesses told police that the horse "looked out of control" despite its owners desperate efforts to control it.
Ion Dragan, 56, told police he had just bought the horse from a fair and was going home.
Police now suspect the horse might have been given alcohol to make it look stronger and healthier before it was sold.
Ion Iliuta, head of the local veterinary authority, said he was amazed when police asked him to establish the alcohol concentration in the horse's blood.
"We never had such a request before. Maybe to see what kind of blood it is yes, but to find out if the animal was drunk, never."
The 86-year-old victim, who was sitting on a bench outside of his home, died from his injuries.

71-year-old woman gets bill for C-section
Oh, baby.
No, a 71-year-old Fort Walton Beach woman did not deliver a child by Cesarean section, even though a hospital billed her for one.
So she filed a complaint of identity theft after receiving a $2,750 bill from a hospital.
As she explained to a deputy, at her age, she "would not be having that type of procedure done."
No, we guess not.
Good thing it wasn't a bill for a hip replacement. That one might have slipped through.

Sheriff's employee suspended for showing topless photos
Maybe this sheriff's employee only wanted to make a political statement.
And that's why she wore political campaign stickers as pasties, but it's not going to help Sheila Meschelle.
Meschelle had a photo taken of her shooting a rifle while topless, wearing those pasties, at a Manatee gun range.
Then she showed it to guys she worked with while on duty.
And not just once, but twice.
She first flashed last year, showing her supervising sergeant and other co-workers the topless photo.
Don't bring that to work again, she was told.
But she did and showed it to three deputies.
She was suspended.

Man hits parked cop car -- with a deputy inside
One for the road?
Never a good idea.
Especially for a Naples guy now facing DUI charges after a three-car crash.
In one of the cars he hit: a Collier County Sheriff's deputy who was busily writing up another driver.
One moment, the cop is doing paper work. The next, he's on his way to the hospital.
It wasn't like the DUI guy couldn't see him, the patrol car's emergency lights were flashing.

Drinking and driving result in an "accident" of the bathroom variety
When ya gotta go, you gotta go.
So there was no stopping an Okaloosa Island man, whom cops clocked at 65 in a 35 zone.
The driver got out of the car and immediately peed on himself while asking the deputy if he was in trouble.
When the deputy asked the driver if he'd been drinking he confessed.
Might as well, considering the driver handed the cop a half-full bottle of rum.
