Robin Williams and Tupac were pulled over and arrested in Arizona earlier this week, after state troopers and a K9 discovered 114.7 pounds of marijuana in their Chevrolet truck. Tupac Crum, that is. They were also with a third man named Erick Harris Jr. What a headline, though, amirite?
All three men are from Albuquerque, NM, and they were driving north on State Route 87 near Payson, AZ when they were pulled over, initially due to alleged traffic violations, according to a statement from the Arizona Department of Public Safety. A K9 officer was called to the scene when state troopers noticed "indicators of criminal activity." A search of the vehicle uncovered bags of weed weighing 114.7 pounds, which is worth a reported street value of $69,000, as per the statement.
Williams (21), Crum (19), and Harris Jr. (22) were all arrested on Dec. 4 and detained in the Gila County Jail on several drug charges. The investigation is currently underway.
The more eminent versions of Robin Williams and Tupac are likely sharing a toke up above as well as good laugh about this hilarious coincidence involving their earthly counterparts.
