“A Holyoke man could be the first person in Massachusetts cited for possession of marijuana, an action that lost its criminal status Friday because voters approved a decriminalization referendum in November. However, 29-year-old Jose Burgos could still face prison time on charges of trafficking cocaine and possession of a Class A substance with intent to distribute. Springfield police said they found 0.2 grams of marijuana in Burgos’s pocket during his booking. … Law enforcement officials said yesterday that most arrests for possession of marijuana are made in conjunction with other drug seizures. … Some law enforcement officials told the Globe on Friday that they would probably not ticket offenders because the law is so poorly written it is difficult to enforce.” (01/04/09) Link: http://tinyurl.com/9gmoy8 Filed under: PND News and RRND News | Report Bad Link Bookmark this post in Furl or Del.icio.us | |
