A young couple on a motorbike was arrested during a police stop and search for weapons and explosives in the streets of Phnom Penh last night, after a bag of marijuana was found concealed in the Cambodian woman's handbag. The 21 year old African-American man, who accompanied the woman, said that she was his girlfriend and admitted that he had concealed the pot in her bag.

He should have been arrested for wearing a a fake Versace shirt with fake Ocean Pacific board shorts. I see he offered to go shirtless if they would let him go

At least he didn't sell her out

Dope is illegal but weapons manufacturing and gambling aren't.

Go figure.

It is (technically) illegal for Cambodians to gamble. What makes you think weapons manufacturing is legal?

I agree, at least he didn’t stitch his short timer up. And I wonder if he really is American, looks more like a Nigerian to me. :stir: lol

This makes me think it's legal (I was referring to the world, not Cambodia)
