Corry was arrested last week, on Wednesday, when the police spotted him smoking a joint at the Coors Field area. He was apparently smoking a joint with 33-year-old AmberLee June of Salt Lake City. He was arrested on suspicion of public consumption of marijuana and disobedience of a lawful order.
According to law enforcement, when a police officer approached Corry and asked him to hand over the joint he was smoking, Corry said, "No, I don't have to, it's legal." He cursed at the officers, told one "You're a stupid cop … You can't search me. It's only a citation."
After his arrest, Corry is supposed to have told an officer, "I bet I am a big trophy for you," and when the officer replied he didn't know who Corry was - Corry told him.
The woman, AmberLee June, told the police that she happened to be sitting next to Corry during the game when they began talking about marijuana and he offered to share a joint. In her statement to the police, she wrote, "He smoked marijuana and he passed it to me … I took a puff and passed it. After all, I was in Colorado."
Corry had won a number of significant victories at the court on behalf of marijuana users and patients. Notably, in 2009, he led a Denver court to decide that the state Board of Health had conducted an unfair hearing when they decided to change rules about medical marijuana without providing adequate notice to patients.
