Gainesville Sun Headlines: Gainesville man reports robbers took his marijuana
Here's the body of the article from The Sun on Tuesday, November 3, 2009:
A Gainesville man called several neighbors and friends before calling 911 to report that someone had stolen a few grams of his personal marijuana stash.
Von Powell, 22, told Alachua County deputies that the robbery happened at 2:45 a.m. while he was home alone in his apartment in the 7000 block of Southwest 44th Avenue. According to sheriff's spokesman Art Forgey, Powell claimed he was sitting on his coach, listening to music, drinking a beer and smoking a blunt [a marijuana cigarette] when two men kicked in the front door of the apartment.
"He told us that one of the men hit him on the head with a chrome firearm and that they took cash from his pocket and three to four grams of his personal smoking weed," Forgey said.
Powell said he ran out of the apartment and so did his attackers. He said he saw them get into a dark-colored vehicle and drive away.
"Then he waited 45 minutes to call 911," Forgey said. Powell spent the time calling his neighbors and a few friends to tell them what had happened to him.
No arrests had been made in the case by Tuesday.
