DARWIN, Australia — An Australian teenager blamed the influence of marijuana for his decision to steal two crocodiles and a monkey, local media reported Wednesday.
Benjamin Glen Watts, 19, pleaded guilty in court Tuesday to twice breaking into a wildlife park on the outskirts of the tropical city of Darwin last July, Australian Broadcasting Corp. radio reported on its Web site.
Watts said he planned to sell the stolen baby crocodiles and the marmoset but had been unable to find buyers, ABC reported.
Crocodylus Park spokesman Grahame Webb said Wednesday the animals were returned unharmed.
Watts' lawyer told the court his client admitted it was a "dumb stoner" thing to do and had written to Crocodylus Park to apologize.
Magistrate Greg Cavanagh sentenced Watts to a three-month suspended jail sentence. Watts has been counseled for his marijuana use since the thefts.
A court official was not immediately available for comment.

Oh, what a fucking prick. Yeah, blame weed for you being a fucking dumbass. And we wonder why people are against legalization when fucktards like this go around blaming everything they do wrong on the drugs they do.

naw, I was refering to "Darwin", seems like an apt place for a poorly adaptable chap like this guy...
stealing stupid shit you can't sell and have no use for and then getting in legal trouble and blaming a pot addiction that isn't connected to the theft in the first place as you had no way to profit and were likely just a dumbass.....
not a highly evolved creature...
step 1: steal baby crocodile step 2: ???? step 3: more marijuana for my addiction

i know,it is the stupidest defense to take but i'd bet his solicitor told him to say it
id have preferred if he'd said he was drunk,ill bet he had a little more than weed in his system to want to cut fences and carry shit
probably a closet ice user
my mate has a scanner and lately he's been hearing all sorts of new age ice attack crimes like a local cemetary here had every alter and gravestone smashed to access the copper plaques,every one of them by ice addicts
another gang of ice heads jumped a powerstation fence and started stealing copper rolls and one of them tried to cut an electrical cable and the bolt cutters were still there with melted gloves on them,the cops were saying he has to need hospitalization but havent caught them yet
cops know the real problem drugs but they and the populace are still condemning weed because its a soft crime that makes lots of revenue
did i mention cops here are cowards too?

Stealing animals like that is pretty low. He does all of us pot smokers a blow by blaming weed, but his actions towards animals is the worse issue I think. Treating animals like that is pretty vile I think. I'm no PETA or anything, but this story reminds me of one that happened when I was in high school. This local asshole went into the pet store and saw some "skinny pigs" on sale, he lifted one out of the cage and held it in his coat pocket and walked out of the store. Theft was the issue that the local news went for, but by all accounts that I heard, the dude walked outside the mall, looked at the pig and said it was stupid, and dropped it in the nearest wastebasket and walked away. It was never found.
Kind of a rant, but people who show such disregard for another living thing sicken me.

Who the fuck is going to buy crocodiles and a monkey? fuck this kid up his stupid ass. "Well marijuana made me retarded as fuck so don't blame my irresonsible ass for this" if anything whilst under the influence I would have attempted to free them. But then this thing called logic would kick in and I wouldn't do it.

If I thought I could get away with a monkey and two crocodiles I'd do it too. What better stoner buddies than crocodiles and a monkey? Seriously.

Ideas this retarded only come from marijuana use. Seriously, how the fuck else would you find yourself in this situation other than being high with your friends, laughing your ass off. I would totally steal a monkey and 2 crocs if I had a chance, and it would be fucking hysterical. The idea to sell it though, that can't be blamed on marijuana, that's stupidity.
