You would think, wouldn't you, that if you were out on your rounds at night, delivering high-grade marijuana, you would make sure that you did nothing to attract attention to yourself. You certainly wouldn't drive round in the dark with your lights off.

Not so Gerardo Santana of El Paso. He was driving a rental truck that contained nearly 200 one-pound bricks of compressed marijuana with a street value of $450,000, when he was stopped by police because he didn't have his lights on. He is now in custody, charged with possession with the intent to deliver marijuana, driving on a revoked license and driving without headlights when required.

To paraphrase the old saying - the lights are out and no one's at home.
