Speeder said he was chasing pot thief

A Pennsylvania man that police arrested in a traffic stop told them he was speeding because he was chasing someone who stole marijuana from him.

The police were conducting a "Buckle Up" check where they target drivers not wearing their seat belts. They stopped a vehicle that was traveling at a high rate of speed and changing lanes without using the turn signals.

During the traffic stop, police said they saw a glass bowl used for smoking marijuana on the front seat in plain view. Cops also found 15 baggies of the stuff and 13 ecstasy pills during the search.

Ryan Neaus told the police he was speeding because he was chasing the person who stole three bags of marijuana and his iPhone.

The Einstein is being charged with possession with intent to deliver, possession of a controlled substance, and possession of drug paraphernalia. He was also cited for careless driving and not wearing his seatbelt.
