(Oct. 20) -- Getting arrested for drug possession doesn't have to be a complete buzz kill.

The deputies who arrested a Florida man on marijuana charges reportedly helped him find a bong he had lost seven years earlier.

Police pulled over Mark Fiasco and Matthew Hawley, both 23, in Manatee County just at midnight on Friday because their license plate light was out, according to Bradenton.com.

When officers approached the vehicle, Fiasco allegedly gave them an address that didn't match the one on his driver's license, and said there were no drugs in the car.

But when deputies searched the vehicle, they found 29.3 grams of marijuana in the trunk, according to the police report.

Also in the trunk, cops discovered a bong inside a plastic shopping bag, which Fiasco told deputies he must have misplaced years ago. Fiasco reportedly thanked law enforcement officials for finding the water pipe, which he purchased for $150 and assumed a roommate had stolen when he couldn't find it.

Both Fiasco and Hawley reportedly admitted they bought about an ounce of marijuana with the intent to smoke it.

They were charged with possession of a controlled substance and possession with intent to use. Fiasco was also charged with failure to change an address on a driver's license.
