Again stone county busting someone for pot. I'm so glad I don't live there anymore.
I wish they would legalize it and tax it really high. Would free up a lot of jail space and court time, IMHO.
k
The arrest was the crime here. Why not use some discretion in cases like these?
America home of the incarcerated.
Yup u are right. Go after criminals. Not pot
What a waste of taxpayer's money.....can't the sheriff's departments find real criminals to bust instead of innocent people growing plants for pain medicine....give me a break....shame on you stone county, next thing you will be staking out is organic tomato plant growers; disgusting, leave this poor guy alone.
^^^^^^agree..stone county cops suck
He's 71 years old. He's probably just trying to supplement his Social Security, which isn't enough money to live on!
