MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) - A
Texas couple said a Tennessee sheriff's deputy pulled them over after mistaking
a car decal of the buckeye leaf for a marijuana leaf.
Bonnie and Guido
Jonas-Boggioni told The Commercial Appeal
that they are laughing about it now, but back on Feb. 4, they were confused
when a Shelby County Sheriff's deputy pulled them over as they were driving on
Interstate 40 after coming back from a family member's funeral in Ohio.
Bonnie Jonas-Boggioni said the deputy asked
her why she had a marijuana sticker on the back of her car. He was referring to
her Ohio State Buckeyes sticker, featuring a five-pointed leaf that is
different than the seven-pointed marijuana leaf. She said after explaining the
difference to the deputy, they continued their trip.
