COAST BUSTERS
A California man really missed the boat when he called the Coast Guard to help bail out his stalled ship -- forgetting that he had more than 1,200 pounds of weed on board.
The man, whose name was not released, sent in a distress signal saying that his battery had died about 29 miles off Loma Linda beach, and asked for a rescue. Uniformed personnel arrived within minutes and boarded the vessel to offer help, only to find bales of marijuana.
The suspect and an accomplice were taken into custody on felony drug charges.
