Police investigating B&E make marijuana arrest
September 16, 2009 6:33 AM Kevin Ellis A Dallas Police officer investigating a suspected breaking and entering at an East Popular Street residence Tuesday ended up making a marijuana arrest after finding 3.3 ounces of marijuana and drug paraphernalia at the home, according to a warrant affidavit. Officer J. Reynolds responded to a call of three men breaking and entering into a home at 507 E. Popular St. When he arrived, he reported that Jackie Dean Sneed Jr., 19, came out of the house and said that he lived there. Reynolds and Sneed went to a door at the house to retrieve Sneed's identification. When Sneed opened the door Reynolds reported seeing two men sitting at a table with marijuana on it, according to a warrant affidavit. Police reported finding 3.3 ounces of marijuana, two pairs of scales, a pipe and other paraphernalia, according to the warrant affidavit. Sneed was booked into Gaston County Jail under a $10,000 bond on charges of possession with intent to sell and deliver marijuana, maintaining a dwelling to keep a controlled substance, possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. http://www.gastongazette.com/news/investigating-37965-news-police.html

No, the following is FAIL: Quoted: Police reported finding 3.3 ounces of marijuana, two pairs of scales, a pipe and other paraphernalia, according to the warrant affidavit. 2 sets of scales. I've known a few recreational users much of my adult life. None of them have scales - except for fish. So it wasn't just for having a little weed. ... possession with intent to sell and deliver marijuana... Good call. Reminds me of the guys who show up at at the PD wanting to press charges against the dealer they just met for getting sold bogus drugs... and fill out written statements to that effect after being Mirandized and being told that intent to purchase drugs is a crime. |

If it was good weed it was worth more than $1000 and 3.3 ounces is pretty obvious they were distributing regardless of how many scales they have. |

Gives the politicians numbers to soapbox about and federal and state monies flowing into police budgets and prisons loaded with non-violent offenders who bring PROFITS/INVESTMENT RETURNS to those who operate prisons. Those private prisons probably give heavy campaign dollars too. It's about the money and the power always has been. |

I like how arfcom encourages "buy it cheap, stack it deep" with ammo, but when someone has a decent amount of weed they accuse them of being a drug dealer.
Is everyone here who stocks up on ammo guilty of dealing ammo without a license? With that said the guy is stupid for having that in plain sight when he knew the police were going to be coming to his door. |

Truth is, like most hot button issues, it probably fullfills the wishes of about half. Give or take plus or minus one to nine percent. Up or down depending on that days media focus of course. |

I have a cousin who got busted like this. His roomie forgot his keys and the neighbor saw him climbing in through the window and called the police. Police arrived to investigate the B&E, roomie sees them pull up and exits out the back door and over the fence. Police see the window open so have probable cause to enter, while searching the house they find 4 pot plants growing in the basement. Cousin comes home from work to get arrested.

With that said the guy is stupid for having that in plain sight when he knew the police were going to be coming to his door. Ummm... comparison Fail. Unless you are in a state that requires a special ID to possess ammo (like IL) it's not illegal to have 1 or 1,000,000,000 rounds in your house, car or bunker. Possession of drugs is against the law. We can argue the merits of that legislation, but until it changes, that is the law as wrtten. Appreciate the "Hello, obvious" in your last sentence though. Quoted: "2 sets of scales. I've known a few recreational users much of my adult life. None of them have scales - except for fish. So it wasn't just for having a little weed. " Uh... not quite. Many people use scales to make sure they got what they paid for. Well, I'll admit that my knowledge of drug user behavior has been limited to occasional observations in college, seeing folks spark one up once out of school, and interviewing them in the back of the ambulance or squad, so I defer to your experience and knowledge in this area.
