What happens in Key West...gets back to the boss
A Cape Coral police officer and his wife were arrested in Key West after the wife fired a gun in their vacation house and cops found marijuana when they arrived to investigate. The couple spent the day drinking, and then they had sex, before the argument that led to the gunshot, police said.
Christine Suskevich, left, shot a .32-caliber automatic handgun toward the bedroom where her husband was because she "just wanted to get his attention," according to a police report cited by the Fort Myers News-Press.
Her husband, nine-year Cape Coral PD veteran Curt Suskevich, was uninjured. When police arrived, they saw a marijuana pipe and a "green leafy substance" on the kitchen counter. Suskevich pointed his finger at his wife, who acknowledged it was her pot (cops also found some half-smoked joints elsewhere in the home).
Both were charged with marijuana possession, and Christine was charged with discharging a firearm while under the influence. He is on paid administrative leave from his $57,491 a year job pending the outcome of the case.

THIS IS SO SAD. THERE IS NOTHING WORSE THAN AN IILEGAL OFFICER AND TWO ILLEGAL OFFICERS ARE EVEN WORSE. OTHER THAN A CHILD MOLESTOR. THIS IS THE REASON WHY THE PUBLIC HAS LOST RESPECT FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS. I THANK GOD I RETIRED TWO YEARS AGO, BE CAUSE EVERYTIME I READ THE NEWSPAPER LATELY. SOME LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER IS BEING CHARGED WITH SOMETHING ILLEGAL. WHAT A WASTE. WHAT'S WORSE IS HOW THIS REFLECTS ON THE CAPE CORAL POLICE DEPARTMENT AND THEIR OFFICERS WHOM I'M SURE MOST ARE ABIDING LAW ENFORCEMENT EMPLOYEES. ST. MATTHEW 1O:26

It amazes me how people think that smoking weed is "OK". Its not "OK"! It will cost you your job, affect your family, etc...
There is a simple rule of thumb....If you have to hide to do it, it is more than likely ILLEGAL. If you get caught with it and get arrested... Guess what? Its ILLEGAL!
Why take the risk?
