DELAND, Fla. (WFLA) â A Florida man was arrested Thursday after he tried to stash some meth under a deputyâs patrol vehicle during a traffic stop.
Body cam video showed a responding deputy tell Lee Sanberg, 49, that she needed to get her written warning from another deputy who was patting down her boyfriend, 49-year-old John Schneider.
While he was being patted down, Schneider was spotted dropped a bag under the deputyâs patrol vehicle, prompting the deputies to handcuff him immediately.
âHe just dropped a bag that looked like dope,â one of the deputies said.
âAww man,â the manâs girlfriend responded.

Under the patrol car. The last place one would think of hiding drugs. It’s either incredibly stupid or brilliant.
I guess it beats the banana in the tailpipe trick.
“some meth”
Not a gram, not an ounce, but half a pound? That’s a lot of meth, not “some meth”. Florida man is busy.
Oh, it’s a different John Schnider. Not the guy who used to act on Dukes of Hazard!
Well it seemed like a good idea at the time.
As an Immigration Inspector, on the Canadian border in Calais, Maine, in a beautiful day in the summer of 1974, I had a guy from CT, driving a bright yellow ‘32 Ford coupe hot rod drive into my inspection lane. My first thought was, “Awesome car.” My second thought was, What’s this guy from CT doing in Calais, Maine, driving this car? After determining his American citizenship, I asked him to step out of the vehicle, so I could perform a closer customs inspection. The front floor had an ample amount of marijuana residue on it. I asked him to drive around the building to our secondary inspection area, and followed on foot. He drove faster than I walked, and was out of my sight for several seconds.
A closer and more thorough inspection of the Ford turned up nothing but seeds on the floor and seat. He was out of the car, bouncing around very nervously. I stepped back about 20 feet from the vehicle to gain a better perspective, and noticed a plastic baggie on the pavement, under the car. “What’s that?”, I asked? He immediately threw his hands up in the air and shouted, “I did it, I did it! It’s mine! I threw it under there!”
It was a baggie full of marijuana. Customs seized the baggie, fined him $100 and sent him on his way. I was amused by his response to my discovery, and by his foolishness at attempting to smuggle a small amount of grass, which could have resulted in customs seizing his sweet ride. Every day I worked the border, wherever I was, was interesting.
