Man Hides 55 Pounds Of Pot In Pac Man Arcade Machine

[Initech]

Video games and marijuana may have a rich shared history, but the two came together in an unexpected combination last week in Orangeburg, S.C., when local and federal authorities apprehended a man for smuggling 55 pounds of marijuana that had been stashed inside an arcade cabinet. A Pac-Man arcade, no less.

Authorities first arrested Luis Tyler on April 16 following an undercover investigation, Keisa Gunby, director of media relations for Orangeburg County Sheriff's Office, told NBC News.


"We knew that he was going to be receiving this video game and it was going to have narcotics in it, so we did a traffic stop before he was able to get where he was going with it," Gunby said.

Gunby said she couldn't remember another case involving such a machine, and told us that the Pac-Man cabinet was so tightly packed with pot, it was inoperable as a game console.
