Nice work if you can get it - asleep on the job

From the Seattle Times:
Untended shop leads police to 5 pounds of pot
The search of a seemingly untended business in Washougal, Clark County, on Friday turned up one sleeping employee and about 5 pounds of marijuana, police said.

Just after noon Friday, a Washougal police officer was flagged down in front of a store called Mary Jane's House of Glass � Precious Paws Dog and Cat Food.

A passer-by reported he'd spent 20 minutes yelling for a store clerk with no answer, and feared something may have happened, police said. The officer called for additional units, then entered the store to check it out.

Officers eventually found a 21-year-old lying on the floor of an office room, apparently asleep, according to police, who said another room contained a large amount of marijuana strewn about the floor, counter and open garbage bags.

After he woke up, the man was arrested on suspicion of possession of marijuana.

Police later re-entered the business with a search warrant and found one space that appeared to be a "processing room" � containing packaging material, a bag-sealing machine, a scale, loose marijuana and stripped marijuana stalks, according to police.

Officers removed close to 5 pounds of marijuana in all, police said. They also found smoking devices.
