Daily Insanity: Doctor Calls 911 for Intruder; Gets Arrested for Drugs

Source: Wilmington Police Department

Wednesday, Dr Sheila Cassioli Cooper came home for lunch. She noticed the back window was open and when she went inside, she heard someone upstairs. She went back outside the house and called police.

Police searched the house for intruders. They didn't find any intruders, but they did find something. In the basement, police found a marijuana "grow" operation.

Narcotics officers were summoned to the residence where they found "approximately one pound of dried and processed marijuana in various states of preparation, as well as an indoor grow tent, light, ventilation, storage containers and smoking devices. They also recovered two long guns."

Dr. Cooper, who is an optometrist, and her husband, John Bailey Owen Cooper were each charged with felony possession of marijuana, manufacture of marijuana, possession with intent to sell and deliver marijuana, maintaining a dwelling for drugs and possession of drug paraphernalia.

In addition to these charges, John Cooper was also charged with possession of a firearm by a felon.

Bond was set at $5,000 for Sheila Cooper and John Cooper's bond was set at $10,000. However, both have bonded out of jail.

It seems very odd that the doctor would contact police if she knew the grow operation was in the basement. Police would be the last people she would want searching her home. She would have called her husband to check for an intruder.

That leaves her husband, John Cooper. Could he have kept his grow operation a secret from her? Police removed "ventilation" so maybe the smell didn't reach upstairs.

It's just difficult to believe Shelia Cooper knew there was a grow house in the basement and still called police. She was probably shocked when she was arrested; her facial expression in her mugshot is like...WTF.

If she did know about the grow operation and called 911 to search her home, then she is absolutely, undoubtedly the dumbest criminal ever!

Peace
