NASHVILLE, TN (WSMV) -
An incident in Kansas involving a Metro police officer and marijuana-laced food resulted in his firing.
The trouble started in June when Officer Edward Karl, 34, was driving through Topeka, KS, after his honeymoon in California.
Officers in Kansas had set up a fake drug check point, then followed drivers who tried to exit the Interstate.
Investigators said Karl and his wife pulled into a parking lot and dropped a bag into the trash that had "several food items containing marijuana, along with a small quantity of loose marijuana 'buds.'"
The couple later admitted to getting the illegal narcotics from a friend while visiting California.
A disciplinary hearing was held on Aug. 6 in Nashville, where it was determined that he be fired.
Karl graduated from the police academy in August 2010.
