Marijuana Meatballs: Ex NYC Detective Anthony Chiofalo Says He Got Fired Over Wife's Secret Recipe

[Soylent Brice]

NEW YORK (CBS/AP) Anthony Chiofalo probably thought there was something new about his wife's meatballs but he didn’t think it would get him fired.

The retired New York City counterterrorism detective says he failed a 2005 random drug test because his wife spiked his meatballs with marijuana. He was suspended and ultimately fired in 2007 and has been fighting the decision ever since.

Chiofalo's wife even admitted to investigators that she spiked her husband's meatballs because she wanted to force him to retire, but they didn’t buy her story.

And neither did a state appeals court. After hearing arguments from Chiofalo's attorney Thursday the court ruled to uphold his dismissal.

Police department lawyer Edward Hart says there was more marijuana in Chiofalo's system than the meatballs alone could explain.

Philip Karasyk, Chiofalo's attorney, says he's considering options for continuing the case.

9. And he's not filing charges against her? That looks suspicious.

Involuntary drugging is assault. Seems the wife copped to it, even. So why was she not charged with assault? That added detail might've made the excuse come off a bit more genuine.

10. Reminds me of Eddie Murphey doing The Jamaican Chef on SNL

"Is it oregano? No, no, no..."

11. Admit it

People need to stand up and say "hell yeah I have weed residue in my blood, and by the way I am a successful and functioning member of society". "I have smoked for 40 years..daily". At least I'm not addicted to some bs prescription drug and worse yet alcohol. Nope just a little natural herb that takes the edge off after a rough day. Time to put an end to bs drug testing that is biased against pot users due to the length of time it stays in the bloodstream. I say put the NORML billboard in Times Square.
LOL meatballs is a lame excuse..he's a cop he should know better than to tell a lie that is so transparent.
