The case gives new meaning to the term pothead.

Or dope.

Cesar Lopez, 29, was in a Lebanon, Pa., convenience store early Saturday morning, staring at the inside of his baseball cap near a restroom.

What the Lebanon man was probably looking for wasn’t in the hat, because it was stuck to his forehead, according to police.

A uniformed police officer who happened to be in the store plucked a small clear-plastic bag of what appeared to be marijuana from above Lopez’s brow.

“Is this what you’re looking for?” the officer asked.

Lopez was charged with possession of a small amount of marijuana and released.

The bag had probably been tucked inside the sweatband of the cap – a common place for concealing drugs and paraphernalia – before it became dislodged, according to Chief Daniel Wright.

The Turkey Hill store is at 716 E. Lehman St. in the Lebanon County town, about 25 miles north of Lancaster.
