Pot Purchaser Punched, and Other Cop Calls

A punch to the face prompted a Sunday night call to police by someone  who identified himself as a medical marijuana patient who had just purchased cannabis from a clinic near El Toro Road and Raymond Way.

The pot purchaser said two men and a woman punched him in the face in an attempt to rob him of his recently acquired marijuana.

But units responding to the report of a robbery in progress were unable to locate any of the parties involved, according to Lt. Mike Peters of the Orange County Sheriff's Department.

The call was made at about 10:53 p.m. Sunday.
