Cops ‘ made lad swallow stash’

-

THREE policemen have resigned after forcing a driver to eat a stash of pot during a traffic stop.

The unidentifi­ed 19- year- old driver told investigat­ors that he was stopped by cops for a traffic offence.

Officers found five grams of marijuana in his car and the victim said they told him to eat the weed to avoid jail.

He did so, was issued a ticket and let go.

Two of the cops are being probed both criminally and by the department. The third is the subject of just the department investigat­ion.

All three of the officers were wearing body cameras but none of them was turned on.

A source for Phoenix Police in Arizona said: “They thought it was funny. The guy could have had a bad trip and died, or something.”
