Superhero wannabe shoots arrow wrapped with marijuana at county jail, tells police he was aiming at squirrel

A Washington man drew the string of his bow, aimed at the second-floor recreation area of the Whatcom County jail, and loosed an arrow with a baggie of marijuana attached to it.

An apparent fan of Legolas, Hawkeye and Catniss Everdeen, 36-year-old David Wayne Jordan, discovered a tricky way to smuggle drugs into the penitentiary.

The-bow-and-arrow-weed-killer fired the projectile high into the sky, toward a mesh screen near the top of the second-story, fresh-air exercise area for inmates, said Whatcom County Sheriff, Bill Elfo.

Evidently, Jordan was no crack shot. Instead of hitting his target, the arrow landed harmlessly on the room.

SNIP

While in custody, Jordan told authorities he was aiming at a squirrel (a secret squirrel?), though he failed to comment if the attached baggie of marijuana was a flight stabilizer or just a generous gift to the rodent.

Squirrel!
