Like many fearful potheads, Andrew Grande attempted to swallow the bag as police tried to arrest him on Dec. 10 in Panama City, Florida. When he struggled, an overzealous cop tased him and soon Grande choked to death on the bag.

According to Bay County police, Grande had an argument with a girlfriend, left the car and and was apprehended in the Executive Inn parking on Front Beach Rd. at 2 am. After being tased, Grande fell to the ground. He stopped breathing and one officer did the Heimlich Manuever to no avail.

EMS were able to pull the bag out of his throat, but it was to late.

“My son shouldn’t have died that night," says Grande's mother Kathie Mauldin. "You could plainly see he was choking and no one could help him.” A nurse, Mauldin contends, “They (the deputies) need more training in the Heimlich and CPR. If they knew how to really do it, my son would still be here today.”

Bay County sheriff Frank McKeithlen counters: "This subject chose to ingest this in his mouth. Because of that he's dead."

No, Grande is dead because: 1) he attempted to swallow a plastic bag full of weed, 2) he was tased, 3) police failed to properly use the Heimlich Maneuver and 4) marijuana is illegal. Grande was 23.

Update: Grande was a gay porn star named Dustin Michaels NFSW
