Police recovered a glass pipe with marijuana residue from the home, along with two packs of rolling papers, two roaches and a jar of marijuana. The man declined medical treatment and as of Monday had not been charged with a crime — or even a party foul. \[[The Vindicator](http://www.vindy.com/news/2015/oct/05/man-too-high-marijuana-calls-austintown-police-hel/?nw)\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4063299/ohio-marijuana-doritos-police/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4063299/ohio-marijuana-doritos-police/"},"headline":"Ohio Man Gets Too Stoned on Weed, Calls Police","datePublished":"2015-10-06T18:29:19.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:25:39.731Z","description":"Surrounded by Doritos.
