Just minutes before he was shot and killed by a police officer, sparking days of looting and riots in Ferguson, Missouri, 18-year-old Michael Brown was allegedly robbing a convenience store for cigars, which, a WND investigation reveals, may have been meant for marijuana use.
Security video from the Ferguson Market and Liquor on Aug. 9 reveals a suspect who appears to be Brown stealing Swisher Sweets cigars. Dorian Johnson, the friend of Brown who claims he witnessed the police shooting, also told authorities Brown committed the robbery.
Swisher Sweets, one of America’s most popular and least expensive major cigar brands, however, are not just popular with teenagers, but also widely known to be used by marijuana smokers, who roll their own blunts by replacing the cigarillos’ tobacco with pot.

Brown’s own words, recorded under his rap pseudonym “Big’mike,” provide the first clues that may be exactly why Brown was after the Swisher Sweets.
“Smokin’ on the dope, ’til I choke,” raps Brown in a song titled “Forgiveness Big’mike.”
Later in the lyrics, many of which are obscene and mumbled, making them hard to discern, Brown also raps, “Do you smoke weed? Keep doin’ what you do best.”
