Police commanders in Dearborn are taking heat for not prosecuting a police officer caught spiking brownies with marijuana.

Survey: Should Officer Face Charges?

The Detroit Free Press said Cpl. Edward Sanchez was allowed to resign last year after admitting he and his wife baked brownies with marijuana he had taken from a drug suspect.

The officer's troubles began with an April 2006 call to 911. On the tape, he's heard saying, "I think we're dying. We made brownies and I think we're dead, I really do."

He also asked the 911 dispatcher what the score was on the Detroit Red Wings hockey game being televised that night, explaining, "I just want to make sure this isn't some type of, like, hallucination that I'm having."

The Free Press obtained the tape through a Freedom of Information Act request.

The paper said he later admitted to where he got the pot.

Dearborn City Councilman Doug Thomas promises an investigation. He said that if you're arresting people and keeping their marijuana, "That's bad. That's real bad."
