WYOMING, Minn. — It's a trap!
Police in Minnesota are going viral for a joke they posted to the police department’s Twitter account.

On April 20 – or 4/20 – marijuana advocates around the world gather to celebrate, in a variety of ways, the cannabis plant.
The trap is made up of junk food, like Doritos and Cheetos, Mountain Dew soda and a pair of video games.
Police ended the post with #Happy420.
