“The rats eating our marijuana, they’re all high.”

New Orleans Police Superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick says rats have gotten into confiscated cannabis at the city’s police headquarters, munching on the evidence as the building is taken over by mold and cockroaches.

The superintendent described vermin infestations and decay at the offices, saying officers have even found rat droppings on their desks. The police department did not immediately respond to an emailed request for more information on how they discovered the marijuana was eaten by rats or whether any cases were affected.
