Check the Weather

Nice People Swallow
It seems a certain crook had the bad habit of spitting tobacco juice. And he didn't exactly care where he spit.
A keen eyed detective noticed tobacco juice stains on some papers that had been ransacked at an insurance office where a burglary had occurred. Since none of the ladies in the office chewed tobacco, he reasoned the spit belonged to the thief and took a DNA sample.
Tobacco spit was also found at five other crime scenes in the area. The DNA in all of them matched.
The police had a suspect for the robberies and got a warrant to test his DNA. Voila! It matched. They are expecting a conviction.
Short on Cash? Will This Do?

The cashier refused and called the police with a description of the vehicle.
Soon after, a police officer spotted the vehicle and pulled it over. An inspection of the car turned up marijuana. The driver was arrested.
