Man charged with trying to pedal away with pot plants
September 14, 2005 - registerguard.com
A Eugene man allegedly gave new meaning to the term "drug trafficking" this week.
Police spotted Dwayne Earl Anthony Etzel, 18, pedaling a bike down Polk Street on Monday with three uprooted marijuana plants under his arm - perhaps not the best plan, since it was 5:40 p.m. and still light out.
Narcotics Detective Scott Vinje happened to be driving through the neighborhood at the time. The bicyclist had a big smile on his face, he said.
"I see this guy riding up the street with what looked like a big old bush under his arm," Vinje said.
"It didn't click right away that it was marijuana. Then I smelled it."
Etzel remained in the Lane County Jail on Tuesday on charges of felony burglary, drug possession, criminal mischief, escape and trespassing.
Etzel rode off, police say, right into the path of Detective Jeff Drullinger, who also was in the neighborhood.
He pulled up alongside the bicyclist, showed him a badge and ordered him to stop.
Instead, the bicyclist got off his bike and tossed it at the truck Drullinger was driving, Vinje said.
He then climbed back on the bicycle and rode away, leaving the marijuana plants behind.
Officer Steven Timm found the man riding near West 12th Avenue and Van Buren Street. Timm ordered him to stop, but the cyclist kept rolling as he tried to pull a baggie of dried marijuana out of his pants pocket, Vinje said.
He rode toward Timm, who gave him a shove on the shoulder and knocked him to the roadway.
The cyclist tried to get up and get away several times, prompting one of the officers to deliver a short blast of pepper spray to his face, police spokeswoman Kerry Delf said.
After that, the suspect relented and was taken into custody with incident.
Around the same time, a man who lives near West 10th Avenue and Tyler Street called police to report three of his medical marijuana plants stolen.
The man said he was watching television when a noise drew him to the rear of his house.
He looked in his marijuana growing area and saw a man standing inside, with an uprooted marijuana plant in his hand. The thief ran away with three plants.

That's one of the funniest things I've ever read.
