Vittorio Dominelli grabbed several cannabis oil infused snacks after his team raided an illegal marijuana shop in Toronto in January. While on surveillance duty following the operation the 36-year-old and his partner talked about how they had never tried the drug while discussing Canada's then-looming pot legalization.
One thing led to another and before long the two cops had wolfed down eight squares of one of the bars. On Friday, a Canadian court heard that after about 20 minutes the drugs hit Dominelli "like a ton of bricks."
"He was sweating heavily and believed he was going to pass out," Crown attorney Philip Perlmutter said, The Globe and Mail reports.
He assumed it would be a minor mellow feeling. He did not think consuming a small amount would impair each officer.Things quickly spiraled out of control and the court heard that Dominelli pleaded with his partner to call for help because he thought he was going to die. When she refused he snatched the radio from her, ran up the street and breathlessly told the dispatcher to send an ambulance.
