I was meeting someone to buy a car stereo. I was meeting someone to buy a guitar. I was meeting someone to buy a tool. -- All decent, legal excuses.
Considering that he was in South Akron, he probably lied and said "marijuana" thinking it was less trouble than saying he was there to buy meth. Everyone in Stow-Kent probably pegged him for a liability and wouldn't sell to him. LOLZ.

PRIME EXAMPLE of the TRUE DRUG problem in America...
The drug trade is not kept alive by the poor white and black people in the "ghetto's"....
The drug trade... as always... is kept alive by people like this coming from suburbia to feed their high priced habits......
The upside of METH is.....criminals like this no longer come to the hood.....

Wait a minute...your going to do something illegal, then you get robbed while doing this illegal thing.....then you call the police. I don't know if this is just funny or stupid or both. The mind-set of mankind is amazing.
Akron, Oh

lol..wasnt there a story earlier this year about a woman being robbed when she went to buy some drugs? I think she was from canton. I know it's a long shot but they maybe related. Now the question is...did the police go to the house where the drugs were being sold? How did they recover his car? Was anyone arrested for stealing his car? Where's the real story. I want a follow-up!! heh heh heh
Posted 02:26 PM, 12/01/2008
how could the police have returned the stolen car from the man who went to purchase drugs....this is a question the police chief needs to answer.. he (man who called the police and told that he went to purchase the drugs) should go to jail and his vehicle impounded......double standards b/c he's from stow...come on ...one set of laws for everyone HELLO LAW ENFORCEMENT....HE WENT TO PURCHASE DRUGS!!!!!
