METAL DETECTOR SPOTS POT

Wrong cannister, wrong day.

Metal detectors at the Dane County Expo Center to screen those attending
the teaching session of the Dalai Lama flushed out a guy with a guilty
conscience.

As he was going through the detectors Wednesday, this young man set off the
alarm. When UW-Madison police asked him to step over to the side, he
bolted from the building, tossing away a small plastic container as he ran.

Police, suspecting some sort of weapon, said they retrieved the plastic
cannister-which turned out to be full of marijuana. The man eluded arrest.

The containers giveaway: a metal cap.
