POT THEFT REPORT LEADS TO MAN'S ARREST.
OREM, UTAH - A man who called police to report his marijuana was stolen was arrested after police recovered the pot and invited him to come to the Public Safety Building to identify it.
Kory C. Tippetts, 18, of Orem, was arrested and booked into the Utah County Jail for investigation of possession of marijuana in a drug-free zone with intent to distribute, police said Tuesday.
Tippetts called police Monday evening after someone broke a window, got cut on the glass and crawled into his home while he was away. He told police the only thing missing was a quarter pound bag of marijuana he was selling.
Tippetts also told officers that a man called him about buying some marijuana earlier in the day, but Tippetts was on his way to work and told the caller no. He gave police the caller's name.
Officers found Richard W. Hight, 23, at his mother's home in Provo, where they recovered 6 ounces of marijuana.
Hight had a cut on his arm and blood soaked pants, police said.
He was arrested for investigation of burglary, theft and possession of marijuana in a drug-free zone with intent to distribute and booked into the Utah jail.
