A Pennsylvania man awaiting the birth of his child shrugged off the tradition of firing up a celebratory cigar and opted to light up a joint instead – in the hospital, Pittsburgh Tribune Review reported Wednesday.

A nurse at Uniontown Hospital said she noticed the smell of marijuana in one of the hospital’s designated smoking areas early Tuesday. The nurse witnessed two men in the area, but did not see either of them smoking, the report said.

Police were called to the scene at 3:20 am local time.

The responding officer noted that the men had glassy eyes. One of them pulled a bag of marijuana out of his shoe and admitted to smoking the drug while waiting for his baby’s arrival.

‘I’m having a baby and wanted to get a buzz,” the officer quoted the suspect as saying.

He was expected to be charged with possession of marijuana.
