75 Pounds of Pot Walk Into SI Police Station

Benito Barrios walked into a local precinct house in Staten Island Thursday night claiming that he "discovered" a 25-pound bag of pot in a delivery made to his furniture store. Cops then "discovered" 50 more pounds, hidden in his garden and arrested Barrios and his wife. There was no word on if Barrios was discovered to be totally blazed when he showed up at the station.

"arrested he and his wife."

Arrested he?

Grammar is not a strong suit here, nor is it important.

Have you noticed a trend in recent years, by celebs in particular, to use the subject form of the first person singular "I" where the object form "me" should be used? Drives me absolutely effing bonkers.
