A drug dealer in Denmark climbed into a police car with 1000 joints after mistaking it for a taxi.

After searching him the police found 1000 joints. Writing on Twitter Copehagen Police remarked: "He received a big surprise when he realised it was actually a police car he was sitting in. The police officers were happy to see him, since he was carrying around 1,000 joints."
In a second tweet the police said the hapless drug dealer could face a custodial sentence for the offence, Mail Online reports.
