Prosecutor creates stink after rocking up at work with zol

A Seattle City attorney has had to apologise for violating workplace rules by bringing bags of marijuana he purchased from newly opened Washington state pot shops back to his office.

Pete Holmes was one of the first people in line earlier last week when the first marijuana retail shops opened across Washington state.

"When I brought the unopened marijuana to City offices - trying to keep up with a busy schedule - I nonetheless violated the City's rules," Holmes said.

He apologised, volunteered to donate $3 000 to a homeless shelter, and voiced his continued support for the state's initiative.

"I bought two 2g bags of OG Pearl, which was recommended," said Holmes, who was elected in 2009.
