KEY WEST
Hotel guest calls police to report missing `weed'
KEY WEST - A disoriented man with slurred speech called Key West police to his seaside hotel Monday morning to report that his high-quality Bahamian marijuana had been stolen.
Jim Devlin, 33, an investment banker from East Meadow, N.Y., told police that his ''weed'' was missing from his bedside drawer at the Hilton Resort & Marina, adding that his girlfriend's $1,800 watch and a $50 bill were gone, too. Devlin said he called police because hotel management laughed at him when he reported the theft, but the hotel manager countered that he advised Devlin to wait until the morning when he was sober.
A report was filed for the missing watch.
''I only want to report the watch, not the money or the weed, because I don't want to tell you how much weed there was,'' Devlin told police.
