A local man found himself in a “sticky” situation on Thursday and ended the night behind bars at The Faulkner County Detention Center charged with possession of marijuana with intent to deliver and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Officers with the Conway Police Department entered the apartment of Justin Omar Austin, 21, a resident of Westlake Apartments, after he received a package from a local mail carrier. Prior to the package being delivered, a local carrier called Officer Clay Smith to bring his drug sniffing dog “Chewie” to see if the package contained any illegal drugs.
When the dog alerted that the package did contain drugs, the decision was made to allow the package to be delivered to apprehend the recipient.
According to La Tresha Woodruff, public information officer, when the officers found Austin, his hands and arms were covered with hair gel that had high grade marijuana inside it.
Austin alleges that the package was not his and he didn’t know what was in it before he opened it.
The officers recovered 1.7 pounds of marijuana with an estimated street value of $6,000.00.
The package had been sent to Austin from an address in California.

Add commentUsed to live there
I lived in Westlake for 3 years until 2 years ago. I got out because it was starting to get bad. Used to see drug deals go on in the parking lot. It's a shame because it was a really nice place to live when I first moved in there.
What?????
So let me get this straight, those fools messed up perfectly good hair gel on trying to mask the smell of marijuana? I mean hair gel works miracles on the hair,, it's good for spiking hair, slicking hair down or taming fly a-ways but as for masking marijuana, NO! As Austin found out it does NOT work!!!!! FOOL!!!!!!
FAIL!!!
Who would want to smoke weed that is now laced with hair gel or weed that has had hair gel washed off it.
EPIC FAIL
Hmm
I wonder if they have tried mixing weed with hairspray. I'm sure it would be quite a jolt when they lit that joint!

Sorry to disappoint you, but I know NOTHING about marijuana. Seriously, I don't.
Granted that's never stopped me from commenting on a topic before, but I tend to leave the marijuana jokes to the ones more familiar with the stuff.
I am amused at how many people are well-versed in the usage of the plant.
Carry on, all you "former" *wink* potheads. You know who you are, and the rest of us have a good clue who you are too.
There's something about...

I don't understand how one uses marijuana hair gel. Can anyone explain?
