From Sault Star (Canadian):

A pair of American teens who travelled hundreds of kilometres to retrieve their stashed pot in Sault Ste. Marie are in custody after falling into the St. Mary’s River just metres from shore. …

The pair is accused of stashing the pot, unbeknownst to the owners, under the dock of a River Road home on Jan. 10, …

The pair returned to Iowa and came back north when they saw similar-sized rivers freezing in their home communities located about 800 kilometres from the Sault. …

Daniel Thomas Rathjen, 19, of Marengo, Iowa and John Lindley, 19, of Iowa City, Iowa were each charged with possession of cannabis marijuana for the purpose of trafficking and possession of cannabis marijuana for the purpose of export.

UPDATE: Pair pleaded guilty Feb. 7.

Well, if I was Canadian Authority’s, I would hold those Marengo Teens in custody.

Evidently Iowa County Attorney Ken Martens missed-out on the action.

My folks & I went on a Train Ride when I was 16 yrs old up there in Saint Marie-Canada.

And it happen I married a guy who was nuts about Trains.

Nice grammar! In the future, maybe before you blog you should get a clue! Authority’s???? TRY Authorities. You also do not need to capitalize every word.
