A Florida woman with two outstanding warrants was arrested after calling police to complain that someone “stole her marijuana” — worth as little as $5.
Lily Rinker, 23, made the complaint at 2 a.m. last Thursday from the Best Western in Stuart, a beach town 40 miles north of West Palm Beach, according to a police report shared by The Smoking Gun.
She told arriving officers that a man named Carlos – whom she had just met – left her hotel room after taking half a gram of pot, worth as little as $5 to $10, from a larger stash of $30 in her blender.
“Rinker stated he did not know what to do so he decided to call the police,” the probable cause affidavit said.
Police later discovered the Jupiter resident had an open arrest warrant in Palm Beach County, according to the outlet.
Rinker was arrested last year for punching his father in the face after he posted a picture of himself holding a vape online, the report said.
The former University of Cincinnati and Eastern Florida State College golfer objected to the photo because “he is a college athlete and cannot be seen holding a vape,” police documents reportedly said.

The second warrant was issued because Rinker missed a probation violation hearing after being convicted of DUI earlier this year.
Although possession of marijuana is illegal in the Sunshine State, it’s unclear whether he was charged with the small amount, which would have been a misdemeanor.
Rinker did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Post.

The incident follows a string of other strange interactions with police by fellow Florida residents.
In 2017, a self-described drug dealer called police to report that someone had stolen cocaine from his car in Fort Walton Beach.
In 2021, a man who was allegedly found with a bag of coke and methamphetamine strapped to his penis after being pulled over in Clearwater offered police a cockamamie excuse — that the package “wasn’t his.”
Last year, a woman was charged with drug possession after she and her partner allegedly called police to help move “their belongings” from a Polk County home they burglarized.
