An Iowa man who got into an argument at a Rock Island, Ill., bar in April died while in police custody, apparently from choking on a small bag of drugs, police said.

Bradley Vaughn, 29, of Walcott, died about 2:30 a.m. on April 18, after police were sent to the bar to calm a fight.

‘‘I think his judgment was pretty impaired.’’

No doubt. Instead of swallowing it, he should have inhaled it.

The Des Moines Register could use a good editor.

Well, he DID inhale it instead of swallowing it. ;^)

"The Des Moines Register could use a good editor."

The two editors from the Times are almost liberal enough to work for the Register.

Others seemingly can't wait to get back in. Go figure. ;O)

Actually, it looks like it was the weed that killed him. So, the next time someone tells you marijuana never killed anyone... ;O)

One less living Democrat. Unfortunately, they have a stubborn tendancy to continue voting even after they are dead.

Actually, I've always heard that the lethal dose was a 25 pound bale dropped from 4 stories.

It's a gateway drug.

Loud pipes save lives.

:-P

Weed is virtually legal here it's the arguing in a bar that gets the cops attention.

Some days it does not pay to get out of bed.

In this guys case, I'm glad he got up out of bed.

But it is important to note that he had the right to choke to death on his stash!

What a terrible, tragic loss to society. We're all a little bit poorer today for the loss of this precious druggie.
