Pot Deposit

Coralville, IA -- A Coralville man arrested for allegedly depositing marijuana at the bank last September is expected to have the charge dropped because the bank teller gave the pot back to him, the prosecutor in the case said Monday.

 

Adrian Hilton, 26, was to stand trial today on a possession of marijuana charge. However, assistant Johnson County Attorney David Tiffany said the charge would be dismissed pending final approval by a judge.

 

Police said Hilton, who worked for Pizza Pit, allegedly put his stash in a Pizza Pit deposit bag and dropped it in the night deposit box Sept. 17 at American Bank and Trust. Police said bank workers found a sandwich bag less than half full of marijuana in the Pizza Pit deposit bag.

 

Hilton also completed a written statement for Pizza Pit, admitting the marijuana was his and inadvertently depositing it at the bank, according to a criminal complaint filed in Johnson County District Court.

 

However, Tiffany said there is no physical evidence to support the charge. Hilton returned to the bank the next day looking for the marijuana, and a bank teller returned it to him.

 

“The bank teller gave the marijuana back to him so we didn’t have any evidence,” Tiffany said. “She was smart enough to call police, but then she gave it back to him.”

 

Tiffany said the bank teller would not face any charges.
