One would think after being busted twice you would be smart enough not to stroll down that road again....

Hey check out this dumb dope. Man caught with meth at courthouse

A man who was at the Lincoln County Courthouse last week to appear in court on a drug charge was arrested on a new drug charge after he was found to be in possession of methamphetamine.

Jack Burl Kriz, 38, of Newport was scheduled to appear for trial in Lincoln County Circuit Court on Thursday.

As Kriz entered the courtroom with his attorney, he removed a cap from his head, and when he did so, a small, clear plastic bag fell from his hat onto the floor.

Lincoln County Sheriff's Deputy Chris Miller happened to be sitting on a bench in the hallway, waiting to testify in court, and the deputy noticed the bag fall from Kriz's cap.

Miller recovered the bag and found that it contained a white, crystal substance. That substance tested positive for meth.

At the conclusion of his trial on Thursday, Kriz was found guilty of possessing meth - the charge for which he was in court that day.

He is scheduled to be sentenced on that conviction today (Wednesday).

But then after his trial, Kriz was arrested on a new charge of possession of meth, and he was lodged in the Lincoln County Jail.
