Law enforcement officials in New Orleans said they are contending with heavy mold and deteriorating conditions in the city’s aging police headquarters. But their biggest concern centers around a group of sneaky rodents that have broken into the department’s evidence room to munch on marijuana, NOLA.com reported.

New Orleans Police Superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick told the City Council’s Criminal Justice Committee that the rats are getting out of hand.

“The rats are eating our marijuana,” Kirkpatrick said. “They’re all high.”

Kirkpatrick added that the intruders have left less savory evidence of their appearance -- rat droppings on desks, WWL-TV reported. Cockroaches have also infiltrated headquarters, although it was unclear whether they had also gotten into the stash of weed.

“The dog ate my homework” has been updated for our current age of civilizational collapse.

I guess the statute of limitations has expired so I’ll confess. When I was in high school I hid my pot stash in my closet. I have seen seen doped up mice after they got into my pot.

The cops will have less pot to sell? How awful.

Maybe that explains Biden’s concern about less Doritos in a bag.

Yep, it was rodents. However, the chief was unable to explain the truckload of Doritos and onion dip that was recently delivered to the police station.

Put rat poison in a few batches left out for the rats to eat.

NO and drugged rats just go together.

In local financial news, the Dunkin at 4300 Veterans Memorial Blvd, and the Krispy Kreme at 825 Clearview Pkwy, as well as local food delivery services, are showing a steep profit growth this quarter.

It seems that this rule is not broken, all rats are addicted to marijuana

“The rats are eating our marijuana.”

— a good, potential tagline

No, this is not a report from Capitol Hill.
