Man arrested for DUI after calling police because his marijuana was stolen

Calvin Hoover, 21, of Salem, Oregon called 911 to say that his marijuana was missing.
According to the local paper, the Statesman Journal, he called 911 to report that while he was in a bar, someone broke into his truck, stole $400 cash, a jacket and about 3/4 oz. of marijuana, valued at about $180.

Police went to the bar but Hoover was not there.

An hour later, Hoover called again to complain but this time angry that the police had not arrived.

Authorities said the dispatcher had trouble understanding the caller because he was driving and stopping several times to vomit.

Police eventually found Hoover's truck parked on the street. He was 100 feet from his truck, walking in the street. He told authorities that he was looking for the people who stole his "weed."

Police took a theft report and arrested him on charges of driving under the influence. They explained to Hoover that if he did not have a medical marijuana card and was found in possession of marijuana, he would have been charged with possession of a controlled substance. (Medical marijuana is legal in Oregon, with a valid permit). It's not clear whether he had any such permit, but DUI IS illegal.
