When the police asked him what he had in his hand, he hid it under his sleeve and then resisted arrest. If he had just showed them the joint and gave it to them without any hesitation, nothing probably would have happened. I am not the biggest supporters of cops nowadays neither but NEVER resist arrest or else this will happen every time.
