A Sky-High Fire Chief

Well, you know the old saying, "where there's smoke, there's fire!"

Sure is a PUNGENT STINK, isn't it?


"Marijuana found in fire chief's car; Newton officials say drug found during cleaning" by Rachana Rathi, Globe Staff | August 23, 2008

Firefighters assigned to perform a routine cleaning of Newton Fire Chief Joseph LaCroix's official car said they made a surprising discovery: marijuana.

The alleged discovery of a small amount of the drug Thursday beneath the driver's seat of the city-owned Crown Victoria is under investigation by police in LaCroix's hometown of Marlborough, even though the car was in Newton at the time it was found, city spokesman Jeremy Solomon said.

LaCroix, who met with city officials in Newton before turning the marijuana in to Marlborough police, issued a statement yesterday denying that the marijuana was his.

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!!

I've watched all the "Cops" shows, and that's a good one!!!!

In a separate incident, Newton firefighter Keith Eppich, 30, of Norwood, was charged with possession of heroin Thursday after Boston police allegedly saw him buy the drug. He was to be arraigned yesterday in Dorchester.

How about finding out who the killers and robbers are in the streets for a change, rather than wasting all this time and money on drugs, guys?
