No matches found.Large marijuana bust at La Grange Family Dollar
According to a press release from the Lenoir County Sheriff's Office, two La Grange women have been charged with trafficking marijuana.
On Saturday the LCSO, along with the LaGrange Police Department and Kinston Department of Public Safety located approximately 23 pounds of marijuana at the Family Dollar Store in La Grange.
The business is located on East Washington Street. The store was temporally closed until management for Family Dollar could arrive to assume control of the store.
The LCSO, along with members of the Greenville Drug Task Force and Jones County Sheriff's Office received information earlier in the week that two packages containing a large amount of marijuana were to be delivered to the business.
Two employees of Family Dollar, Melissa Collie, 40, and store manager Belinda Sutton Pearson, 46, both of LaGrange, were charged with trafficking marijuana and held under a $ 30,000 bond.
Both women are currently out on bond. Each are scheduled for a first appearance in Lenoir County District Court on March 15.
"The entire investigation lasted one week," said Maj. Chris Hill of the LCSO. "The marijuana has a street value of approximately $35,000."
"It was about the only thing in the store you couldn't buy for $1," Hill said.
| I think the point of this article was to point out the idiots that used their place of employment to traffic an illegal substance. And just so you all know the cops you rail against do not make the laws they just enforce them. The lawmakers YOU elect or fail to because you are too high or apathetic to get out and vote make the laws. You want dope legalized then quit whining. Get out and do something about it. You will be glad to see these cops when someone is breaking into your house. And yeah the punctuation restrictions are really weird on this forum. |

| It could have ended like the case in Michigan where the cop entered the backdoor of a 20-year old student's apartment, shining a flashlight in his eyes and then when the student moved his hand to block the light was shot in the chest by the cop.
LEGALIZE NOW |

| Until you stop the idiocy of prohibition, you will NEVER stop this kind of thing. Especially as the economy just gets worse, people will do whatever it takes to make a living and make enough to pay for their families. Not to mention, if this had been in any number of places, someone would have gotten shot and probably killed by the cops during the raid. It's a wonder that it DIDN'T happen. Learn from history and you will see why this is a stupid policy, started by paranoid, foolish old men while they were drinking. The hypocrisy, foolishness and stupidity has got to end now. We just can't afford to keep ruining people's lives and giving the cops the right of life and death decisions over all of us. They are out of control, and can't be trusted any more than the politicians can with that level of power. |

| ALSO, May I say to the folks managing this site that the policy of not being able to use ellipses, which are three dots indicating a trailing thought- as well as multiple question marks, to indicate incredulity, when making a post wins the award for Most utterly asinine web forum policy ever!
As well as parenthesis quotation marks and apostrophes, as I discovered while writing this post! Seriously, guys. What gives?
Not being hostile or flaming. I'm just sayin' dot dot dot. |

| I agree with the folks on here who say that Prohibition is an idea that should be laid to rest.
However.
How STUPID do you have to be to use your place of employment to traffic an illegal substance? Did they really think nobody would find out? |

| It's about time people realize that the cost of prohibition far outweighs any of it's benefits. The country will be in better shape economically, socially, and even more healthy if the those in power realized the potential in legal marijuana.
Legalize it, tax it, regulate it. Pot smokers are the only group in society BEGGING to be taxed!
People are going to smoke pot whehter it's legal or not. Let's work together to keep marijuana use safe and controlled by legalizing it and treating it like alcohol. It's much easier for high school students to find marijuana than it is for them to have a beer. Teach responsibility, not fear and the world will be a safer, happier place. |

| Now would you just stop it please? Stop making so much sense.
The problem with sanity prevailing over insanity is that there is an entire privatized prison industry that has sprung up in the wake of these draconian useless laws.
And just enough Bible waving self righteous sexually perverted yayhoos to make a big stink about the effects of freedom on their brainwashed demon spawn. They oppose gay marriage for the same reason. |

| Legalize, Regulate, and TAX. It is time. The drug was is over. Marijuana is the number one cash crop in 14 states. We've spent 22 TRILLION on the drug war since Nixon started it. Seen any less drugs on the street? Less potent? Cheaper? No. You couldn't get more people using marijuana if you tried. Take the profits away from the drug gangs. Bring this stuff out into the open. The only people who oppose this are drug dealers and their henchmen. Legalize, Regulate, and TAX. |
