4/20 Day starts early, ends badly for robber at NYC pot dispensary

Weed it and weep!

The much-anticipated 4/20 Day — created to celebrate all things marijuana — started early and ended badly for one New York City man who marred the grand opening of a Brooklyn pot shop, police said.

Officers responding to a call of a man with a gun at the Indoor Dispensary on Newkirk Avenue in Ditmas Park around 9:15 p.m. Friday (4/19), encountered an individual who refused to exit the joint, cops said.

Instead, the suspect high-tailed it to the back of the store and barricaded himself inside, authorities said.

Police subsequently smoked out the suspect and a search revealed he was allegedly carrying cocaine, cops said.

Miguel Stanley, 32, was charged with obstructing governmental administration and criminal possession of a controlled substance with intent to sell, the NYPD said, adding no firearm was recovered.
