What Not to Bring to a Lie Detector Test

(OLYMPIA, Wash.) - Background investigators for the Washington State Patrol “threw the book” at a prospective employee last week. The book, in this case, was owned by the applicant himself.
The incident played out as Criminal Records Manager Heather Anderson was arriving for a meeting at State Patrol headquarters. She happened to look in the car parked next to hers. On the seat was a book titled “How to Beat the Lie Detector.”

The State Patrol is hiring, so Anderson contacted the Human Resources division. “Running any candidates through the process today?” she asked. “Why, yes,” replied Captain Jay Cabezuela. “There’s a fellow taking his polygraph exam right now.”

Michigan Cop Busted in Marijuana Brownie Overdose Call to 911 Avoids Charges (AUDIO/VIDEO)

Many people are questioning why a police officer and his wife can steal marijuana and consume it to the point they believe they are overdosing, without any legal consequences.

(DEARBORN, Mich.) - Mixed messages abound in a story about a 28-year old Dearborn, Michigan police officer named Edward Sanchez, who called 911 and said he and his wife were dying, from a marijuana brownie overdose. It turns out the weed was stolen from criminal suspects, and that is when this sadly comical story just starts to get traction.

It all began just over a year ago, on April 21st, 2006, when Edward Sanchez placed a phone call to 911 call from his home. During the 5-minute tape of the call, obtained by the Free Press, Sanchez tells an emergency dispatcher that he is convinced that he and his wife were overdosing on marijuana.
