WTF? the article says she got arrested for a WEAPON, NOT COCAINE. It dont say nothing about her gettin charged with cocaine possession. Such piece of shit journalism. They didnt even FIND cocaine ON her....Of course she would be shocked if she got arrested for possession since she didnt HAVE any. WTF kind of garbage mess is this story? they trying to make it like "hahah, stupid bitch, she did coke all day but didnt know she could get arrested for having coke on her, haha, wat a dumb bitch!!" when in reality she had no cocaine and got arrested for possession of a knife in her car...This story is allll over the place, such crap-ass reporting:|
 
Man gets 20 years in prison for Wyo. heroin case

CHEYENNE, Wyo. — A Wyoming man was sentenced to 20 years in prison for his role in providing the heroin that resulted in the overdose deaths of three people last year, including a young professional bull rider.

U.S. District Judge Alan B. Johnson on Tuesday sentenced Vernon Violas Ellefson Jr., of Cheyenne, on Tuesday. Ellefson pleaded guilty in August to conspiracy to distribute heroin.

Among the three overdose deaths was 21-year-old bull rider Bryan Guthrie.

The investigation into the deaths uncovered a drug-dealing network bringing heroin from Denver to Cheyenne.

This article is clearly truncated.

After a quick records check, the officer learned she was on probation for maintaining a drug trafficking house.

This is apparently in style now, to charge people for having a "drug house". It's one of the charges they gave the rapper in North Carolina except the drug house was his tour bus. I looked this up on a few legal sites and there's all kinds of outrageous applications of these laws. Example:

I live in North Carolina and my brother and his roomate just got busted and charged with maintaining a dwelling. They got this charge because they had friends over who had taken acid before they came over. First off, can they recieve that charge if no drugs were done at the house (they were charged because they knew that those people were on drugs)?

It also reminds me of that dude in Ohio that got charged with something like "permitting drug use" after his buddy OD'd on dope.
 
£14m cannabis factory men jailed in Gwynedd

Three men have been jailed for a total of seven-and-a-half years for their part in running a cannabis factory, involving drugs worth £14m.

Twenty Chinese and Vietnamese people have already been convicted and sentenced to jail.

It brings to the end a major investigation, code-named Operation Jade.

North Wales Police found what is thought to be the largest cannabis farm in the UK - 11,276 plants in Bangor.

The haul was found in a converted building supplies store.

The hearing at Caernarfon Crown Court dealt with a property agent and builders involved in the premises used for cultivating the drugs.

Nicholas Pritchard from Y Felinheli, Gwynedd, a letting agent, who found properties for drug growing, was jailed for three-and-a-half years.

Twins Keith and Edward Reid, from Anglesey, builders who adapted them, received two-and-a-half years and 18 months respectively.

They were all convicted of conspiracy to produce cannabis at an earlier trial.

They were also convicted of money laundering by letting or converting buildings to be used as factories.

The judge Merfyn Hughes QC told the men: "It is well known that large scale cultivation of cannabis is a huge problem in England and Wales.


The judge told the men large-scale cultivation of cannabis was a huge problem
"Those who do it need assistance from people like you who are prepared to take a risk".

To Nicholas Pritchard he added: "You made available to this gang a number of properties including one where the largest crops ever discovered in the UK was found.".

He told Keith Reid he had the "skills to do the conversion work" and to his brother Edward Reid he said "you helped your brother and you also knew what was going on".

Last year the man behind one of the the largest cannabis operations in the UK was jailed for nine years.

Bo Xing He, 31, ran a series of cannabis factories across north Wales producing drugs with an estimated annual street value of almost £14m.

The factory was described as being of "Amazonian proportions".

In all 23 people have been convicted of cannabis production offences including 20 Chinese and three Vietnamese people.

Police said the offences began in September 2007 when a Chinese organised crime gang began to rent a number of industrial and residential premises in north Wales in Conwy, Colwyn Bay, Deganwy, Wrexham, Caernarfon, and Bangor.

Local people said they had no idea what was going on at the site in Bangor.

"When we first moved in we noticed a smell but didn't think anything of it, then it turns out there was a huge cannabis factory next door," said Luke Mitchell.

"We didn't see anyone going in and out though because the entrance is around the corner to us," he added.

Gwilym Williams said he saw a white van being driven into the site by a Chinese man.

"He would step out of the van, unlock the chain and drive in, then put the chain back on and drive off (on the way out)," he said.

"I also saw people walking around at the bottom (of the yard) behind the locked gates.

Mr Williams said he did not realise until later either than a power cut was "deliberately" caused in the area, so that the factory could hook up "directly into the mains".

"Its the same everywhere, it's happening all over," he added.

As well as drugs, police seized £160,000 in cash and other high value items. Seven cars were also seized.

Friend of a friend of a friend at uni there an apparently it's always been expensive and drought like round there. Anything from £180 - £250 /oz .

Non of that stuff was destined for gwynedd anyways, it was all chinese. There isn't enough people in the area to smoke/buy that ammount I don't imagine.

'Operation Oxy Clean' Nets 2 Arrests for oxycontin

Folsom police said two men have been arrested in connection with a long-running investigation into OxyContin sales and distribution.

Investigators said they conducted a search warrant at the home of Sergio Rico, a man they said was a major supplier of OxyContin in Folsom. They said they found cash, 78 OxyContin pills, 6.5 methadone pills, 15 grams of powder cocaine, a handgun and property identified as stolen during home burglaries.

Police said Rico, 25, was arrested and charged with numerous crimes, including possession of a controlled substance, possession of a controlled substance for sale, possession of a controlled substance while armed with a loaded handgun, possession of stolen property and conspiracy. He was booked into the Sacramento County Jail.

Detectives said they searched a storage locker linked to Rico and found an additional 150 OxyContin pills. They also said they found evidence that another man, Nicholas Bertolucci, had tried to gain access to the locker to get the pills.

one can only hope that the cretins that used a building, that they had no ownership of, to store goods were using swag and not high grade .
 
Two people arrested, two kids in protective custody after drug lab bust

Two people are behind bars and two kids are in protective custody after deputies discover a drug lab in Grover Beach.

Detectives performed a probation search at a home in the 800 block of Seabright Avenue Thursday night.

That is when they found a boxed meth lab and other drugs like cocaine.

The incident is getting mixed reaction from neighbors, some were shocked by the news but others were not surprised.

There were two children living in the home ages eight and six, both are autistic.

They have been turned over to County Child Welfare Services.

The home is also just two blocks from a school.

One neighbor did not want to appear on camera, she was pretty shaken up about the whole thing.

However she said there are usually quite a few cars coming and going from the house and a lot of late-night activity.

Meanwhile another neighbor I spoke with said this is not the first drug bust on the block.
