A man was taken into custody after a witness reported seeing David Wayne Jordan taking a bow out of his pickup truck, wrapping a bag of marijuana around the arrow and firing it up to the roof top of the Whatcom County Jail in Washington state. The man told police that he was aiming at a squirrel - nuts.
A civilian employed by the sheriff's office saw David Wayne Jordan, 36, get out of his red Ford pickup at 8:40 a.m. on the south side of the jail, 311 Grand Ave., with a hunting bow and arrow. He fired the marijuana missile upward toward a mesh screen near the top of the second-floor, fresh-air exercise area for inmates, Elfo said. If fired at a perfect angle, the sheriff added, an arrow might squeeze through the screen.
But, apparently, this marksman was no Robin Hood. The arrow - along with a few grams of marijuana and a yet-to-be-identified substance - missed its target and landed on the roof. Jordan fled the scene in his Ford, but the civilian employee wrote down its license plate, Elfo said.
Deputies found Jordan's pickup hours later parked outside of his home in the 3300 block of McAlpine Road. The bow was still in the Ford.
Jordan was booked on suspicion of introducing contraband to a corrections facility in the third degree, resisting arrest and obstructing law enforcement.
