The reported case of the gent with ganja in the Good Book went down Aug. 14, according to the affidavit.

Port St. Lucie police searched an empty lot at Southwest Port St. Lucie Boulevard and Southwest Chestnut Lane because they said someone may have been living in the woods.

Investigators found a makeshift tent, and a man identified as Danny Toth, 66, snoozing in it.

“He stated he had been living there for at least the last year,” an affidavit states.

Police reportedly smelled pot, as opposed to a burning bush, from the tent, and found a bag of marijuana, also known as Devil’s lettuce, in the pages of a Bible.

It’s not the first time alleged contraband was kept in a Bible. For example, in the 1968 film “Five Card Stud,” Robert Mitchum plays a preacher who has a gun in a Bible.

Toth, whose listed address is in the 4400 block of Southwest Gagnon Road in Port St. Lucie, was arrested on a misdemeanor marijuana possession charge.
