Holy Roller - Getting High On The Bible

Teen uses Bible page to roll marijuana cigarette

September 21, 2009

A 16-year-old boy who used a page from his Bible as a rolling paper for a marijuana joint was charged with drug possession, an Erie County sheriff deputy's report said.

The boy's mother called deputies at about 11:35 p.m. Tuesday, asking them to meet her at a car wash on Ohio 101.

The mother said she saw her son smoking in his bedroom and found a small bag of marijuana in his night stand, the report said.

The mother told deputies her son "was smoking a marijuana cigarette using a page from his Bible, taken from Exodus." the report said. A state psychologist said the boy may have chosen Exodus because he was thinking about running away from home.

The sheriff told the psychologist to shut up and go back to her cubicle.

Deputies confiscated the bag of marijuana but curiously left the Bible behind.

Sinning Sinner Snubbed by Steve

Neb. judge: Inmate can't rename himself 'Sinner'

He may have broken the law, but a Nebraska inmate still can't change his name to "Sinner Lawrence Bilskirnir (bil-skeer-NEER')."

Court documents say 33-year-old Jonathan L. Thomas cited his Norse religion in seeking the name change to Sinner Lawrence Bilskirnir. He says he "is a heathen and Thor is his 'High God.'"

But Lancaster County District Judge Steve Burns denied the request. He said government agencies will need to closely track Thomas because of his criminal record and three child-support cases against him.

Thomas is serving time for attempted burglary, receiving stolen property and methamphetamine possession. He is due to be released in 2014.
