Houston Mayor John Whitmire, Harris County District Attorney Sean Teare and Houston Police Chief J Noe Diaz on Friday announced they’re finally getting around to cleaning out the police department’s evidence locker of old narcotics seizures – some of it dating back decades – because the rats are getting high as fuck chewing into weed and cocaine, NBC News reports.
“We got 400,000 pounds of marijuana in storage,” said Whitmire. “The rats are the only ones enjoying it.” All drugs seized before 2015 will be destroyed even if the case hasn’t been closed while going forward the evidence will be disposed of after a case has been adjudicated. The good news for prosecutors is that the rats have only wrecked one case, according to a DA spokesman.
