Casper police arrested two Colorado men Tuesday afternoon after one of the men reported that someone stole his marijuana, which is a controlled substance in Wyoming and illegal to possess.

Police arrived at the Motel 6 on Wilkins Circle just after 2 p.m., after hotel management reported that a customer came to the desk to report that his marijuana was missing from his room. Officers responded to the motel and encountered the man who reported the theft, later identified as Eric Jarrin.

“I made the report,” Jarrin told an officer, according to an arrest affidavit. “It was my weed that was stolen.”

Jarrin then handed the officer his Colorado driver’s license and a medical marijuana card.

Jarrin told the officer that he was in town working at Albertsons. He said he came home from work and “wanted to smoke a bowl” but couldn’t find his marijuana, according to the affidavit. He then went to the front desk to report the missing drugs and waited outside for the police to arrive so that he could directly report the theft to officers.

Officers asked Jarrin whether he had any other marijuana in his room, to which Jarrin replied: “No, I have dabs in my room. Someone stole plant form weed from me.”
