Covington police arrested three men for loitering and prowling in front on an empty house for sale.

When the officer approached the car, he noticed that the inside of the Nissan Maxima was smoky and smelled of marijuana.

The officer opened the driver's side door and a "huge marijuana cloud of smoke rolled out from inside the vehicle," said the report. The officer placed the driver in handcuffs. The driver advised the officer that there was no marijuana left in the car because the three had smoked it all.

The other two males were identified and arrested. All three were charged with loitering and prowling since none of the men lived at the residence where they were parked in the driveway.
