And finally... dope head

A Las Vegas lawyer has experienced a streak of bad luck after being disbarred and now arrested over separate alleged frauds.

Easton K. Harris was disbarred in June over more than 100 professional conduct violations involving at least 23 clients, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

Now, he and childhood friend Jonathan Peirsol have been arrested following accusations that they scammed at least three people into investing in a fake medical marijuana company.

The pair are believed to have collected more than $160,000 from investors for their cannabis enterprise which existed only on paper.

They even toured doubtful investors around properties they didn’t own, but claimed would house their growing and distribution operations.

The money, police said, went to personal expenses and a trip to Belize.
