Police in New Jersey busted a pot smoker in a house right next door to the police station after the officers smelled the scent of marijuana.

Sgt. Ronald Heinzman was on his way home when he picked up the distinct scent. Heinzman said he called over some other officers who helped him hunt down the source of the odor.

The AP said that the police then overheard a conversation about smoking pot in a home separated from the station by nothing more than a chain link fence. The overheard conversation delved into the irony of smoking marijuana that close to the police station.

According to Newsday, officers walked over to the house, knocked on the door, and arrested 18-year-old Benjamin Gordon from Virginia.
