Seattle, July 26 The driver of an older model minivan was arrested this morning on charges of smuggling plastic drinking straws into Seattle. A Seattle PD officer arrested Frankie "The Weasel" Ferret as he came off I-5 at exit 169. A police spokesperson stated that the officer had stopped the car due to brake light failure and was alerted to search the vehicle due to the nervous responses Ferret gave to his questioning.
Ferret granted permission to the officer to search the van where it was discovered that there were sixteen cases of plastic straws in Ferret's possession. A King County ADA stated that Ferret will be charged with possession of contraband with intent to smuggle said contraband into Seattle. "Ignorance of the law is no excuse," stated the prosecutor when advised that the miscreant said that he was simply doing a favor for his "dear old grandmother," and had no idea that he was involved in any criminal activity.
Frankie Ferret is being held without bond until a trial date is set.
