Outgoing Boston Police Commissioner William Evans received an unusual parting gift during his last "Ask the Commissioner" segment on 89.7 WGBH's Boston Public Radio Tuesday.



Hosts Jim Braude and Margery Eagan gave him a bong. They said it is because they have interviewed him extensively about legalized marijuana in Massachusetts.



When they gave Evans the present, he asked: "Did they get it from Margery's house?"



Evans was commissioner through the state's early legalization of marijuana following the success of a November 2016 ballot initiative. In October, he told the hosts of the WGBH show that the smell of marijuana was "everywhere."





"I can tell you everywhere I go, all I smell is pot now, I hate to say it," Evans said.

"I'm serious, I'm serious," Evans said after the hosts laughed. "Everywhere you go, you sort of smell it."



Evans also took a surprise call from "Charlie from Swampscott" better known as Gov. Charlie Baker on Tuesday's show, which is available online.

At a Monday announcement of his retirement from the top Boston police post, Evans said he wanted to relax and "gain some weight." Perhaps, Braude and Egan's gift will help.
