How Mark Fiasco Found His Long Lost Bong

[Dakota Valkyrie]

Mark Fiasco / Matthew Hawley

A Bradenton man was arrested Friday morning, but he still thanked deputies for finding a bong during a vehicle search that he thought he’d lost seven years ago, according to a Manatee County Sheriff’s Office report.

Mark Fiasco and Matthew Hawley were pulled over at midnight for a license plate light being out.

He was then asked if there were any drugs in the car and he said no, according to the report.

A search of the vehicle revealed about 29.3 grams of marijuana in the trunk, the report said; it also revealed a bong inside a plastic shopping bag.

After being read their rights, both Fiasco and Hawley, 23, admitted to knowing the marijuana was in the trunk and that they had purchased it earlier in the evening with the intent to smoke it later, according to the report.

Fiasco then told deputies that he had been looking for the bong for the past seven years. In the report, he also said that he bought the bong for $150 and assumed a roommate had stolen it.

I wonder what gave the cops the idea that there may be drugs in the car? I love that these guys were happy to have found the long lost bong. Side note: the dreads don't look that great on a balding twenty-year old.

According to the article, the CAR has a drug history. Seriously.

LoL @ he thought he lost that bong years ago. There is one reason alone I don't own a bong- they're too fucking hard to hide! Not sure how much 29.some grams of weed is but it was a bong, not like it was crack or something. Own up to it, stony!

I never had a bong. But if I had owned one I would have lost it somewhere only to have it found by a niece during a family visit. I'm sure she would have found it in my closet while playing hide 'n seek and toddled into the den waving it and asking, "What dis is, Mommy?" If I had ever had one. Which I never did. Because that would be illegal.

It's legal to own a bong. It's a problem if you used it for illegal purposes. Keep it clean and you're safe with a bong.

Now that is hysterical! I had a hookah once that a boyfriend of mine had been given as a gift for helping to paint and stock our friends new head shop. This was like 9 years ago when my daughter was just a wee one. Anyway, you think a bong is hard to hide, try stashing that monster away. I had to hollow out a 4 foot tall sewing machine cabinet just to keep it out of sight. Funny thing was, whenever my dad would come over to visit, he always sat on that damn cabinet and I would always worry that the doors would pop open.

Last time my brothers car was searched by the cops they were opening his mcdonalds bags, empty food wrappers ect... and looking through all the trash in his car. His car looked like a trash can on wheels he got a big kick out of them searching through all his trash just to find nothing. The officer even asked for backup just to help him sift through all the trash lol. He ended up asking them if they enjoyed going through peoples trash for a living and they were not amused.

i admit, i am a filthy car owner...and yes, i have had it searched, and yes, it did take them 20 min., and yes i did suggest that they might wanna put on gloves, and no, they didn't find anything.
and no, i am not deadskinmasks brother.

Well at least the guy was honest*eyeroll*

The funniest thing to tell a cop? "No, I don't have any weed. I just smoked it all."

I had to say that to a cop as they were searching my room. They were pissed cause all they had on me was the fact I had WAAAAY too many water pipes,glass pipes, and rolling papers. And a stem.

I didn't think it was funny at the time, but now I can laugh about it.

8 grams equals a quarter and 4 quarters = an Ounce or 32 grams so if they had 28 or 29 grams of mary jane they purchased a ounce.

And his hair is redikudonk as mobydickyoulous.

I'd say dreadlocks on a balding guy is worse than the comb over.
Bongs always got me busted one way or another. Nice little glass pipe is the way to go if I were to still smoke....
