Teen Caught with 500+ Pounds of Marijuana

Mon, Aug 31, 2009 6:29 pm


Source: www.azstarnet.com

 

A 17-year-old Douglas boy was arrested Friday evening after authorities caught him with more than 500 pounds of marijuana.

 

The seizure occurred at approximately 10 p.m. at the Douglas port of entry.

 

Customs and Border Protection officers became suspicious of a Dodge Dakota being driven by a teen from Douglas, Ariz., according to a news release.

 

During an inspection, the officers noticed a discrepancy in the truck bed, leading to further inspection that revealed a secret compartment.

 

The drugs and the truck were seized. The boy was turned over to the custody of his parents pending a court summons before a federal magistrate, the news release said.

If he had 500 pounds, it's pretty obvious that hes not selling grams. he's selling pounds so he would be making somewhere around $500,000 if its regs

idiot above, how the fuck do you go around selling 500 pounds of marijuana at 10$ a gram, no one is stupid enough to sell or buy at that price. he's looking at making 500-700,000$ depending on the price of herb in arizona

I would say if he had been 16, he would be looking at getting out on his 18th Birthday, but as he was 17, he will probably be tried as an adult, I hope not, I hope he gets out of it all, but in reality , if its a hardnose prosecutor and judge , they could make an example out of him to scare other teens who might try to copy him. He could get 10 yrs hard time, and maybe serve an actual 5 yrs, it all depends, too many variables to consider. If he were my kid , I'd get him out of the U.S. right now.

TO: "king travis"., MAN THAT WAS KIND OF FUCKED UP.,
AT LEAST WE CAN SAY THAT MEXICANS LOVE THEIR CHILDREN A WHOLE LOT MORE THAN THEIR AMERICAN COUNTERPARTS WHO WOULD RATHER HAVE A NEW CAR OR STEREO OR A FANCEY HOUSE ON THE HILL.
AMERICANS HAVE LOST THAT SECURITY LARGE FAMILIES BRING IN TIMES OF WEALTH AND POVERTY IN EXCHANGE FOR MORE DISPOSEABLE INCOME FOR THE COMFORTS OF LIFE IN THE PRESENT.,NOBODY IS LOOKING TO THE FUTURE IN AMERICA AS THEY SHOULD.AND OUR FUTURE IS OUR CHILDREN.
BUT YOU DO'NT SEE THAT DO YOU "king travis"? SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAVE BEEN BRAINWASHED BY THE TELEVISION AND HOLLYWOOD AND BIG BUISNESS. GO SPEND SOME MONEY MAN!!! WASTE YOUR LIFE GATHERING DOLLARS AND STUFF IN EXCHANGE FOR YOUR FUTURE GENERATIONS!!!! THAT IS IS THE EVIL OF IT PLAIN AND SIMPLE I HOPE YOU CHANGE YOUR THINKING SOMEDAY. BECAUSE IF YOU AND OTHERS DO'NT WE WILL SOON BE REPLACED BY THOSE WHO DO SEE THE VALUE IN CHILDREN WHETHER THEY ARE POOR OR RICH BY ANY STANDARD OF THE MEANING.,WHAT THEY WILL HAVE IS STRENGTH IN NUMBERS AND A WHOLE LOT OF LOVE TO SHARE THROUGH THE HARD TIMES AND THE GOOD TIMES WHEN THEY COME AROUND AND THEY DO COME AROUND YOU JUST HAVE TO BE PATIENT AND DO WHAT IS RIGHT AS BEST YOU CAN.,NO MATTER WHAT SIDE OF THE BORDER YOU ARE ON.

This kid obviously didn't have a clue of what kind of mess
he was getting himself into, Not just with the US he's gotta worry about the guy on the other side of the boarder who just lost 50gs easy. But its people like this dumb kid who just make things more complicated for us Patients on top of all that its really really shitty weed

first of all good point what was tha fuckin "discrepency" in tha truck bed?? but u cant say that b/c ganja unfourtunatly is not classified amongst other class A narcotics people jus as plenty of other legal so called DRUGS...like pills for example neway tha biggest question here is was he entering tha country wit this weight or simply crossing states , in fact he was tryin to enter thru mexico as one of u had sed which is stupid if u are goin to grow ganja here in tha U.S more power to u shit i do. but u are fuckin stupid if u attempt to cross tha mexican border with 500 pounds u will b caught no matter what u cant hide tha smell of that amount of weight. like sumone sed it was a bad decision theres plenty of ways to get quantity of weed an much better quality here in tha u.s lmao

If cannabis was legal & regulated, the chances of this kind of thing happening would be almost zero.
