State Rep. Cited For Marijuana Outside Steelers Game
PITTSBURGH—A western Pennsylvania lawmaker is accused of smoking marijuana while tailgating last month outside a Pittsburgh Steelers game.
Pittsburgh police say state Rep. Paul Costa was caught sharing a marijuana cigarette with another man in the parking lot of Heinz Field on October 3. An undercover officer says he saw the Allegheny County Democrat and another man passing the joint between them.
Costa's attorney says his client adamantly denies the allegation. Phil DiLucente says Costa "detests marijuana."
Costa and the other man each face a single misdemeanor charge of engaging in prohibited acts. They face a hearing on November 24.

Routine traffic stop leads to huge marijuana bust in Richland County
RICHLAND COUNTY (WIS) - Deputies with the Richland County Sheriff's Department have seized over a quarter million dollars worth of marijuana after a routine traffic stop on the interstate.
The bust happened on I-77 Wednesday night when deputies saw a car towing a cargo trailer swerving in between the northbound lanes. After pulling the car over, the deputies noticed a rolled up marijuana joint in plain view. Deputies also said the driver, 28-year-old Hector Solorio, did not have a valid driver's license
Deputies arrested Solorio and his 39-year-old brother, Heriberto Solorio, and found 2,608 pounds of marijuana in the cargo trailer. Deputies say the marijuana has a street value of $2,608,000. Investigators believe the two are brothers.
The Solorios have been charged with trafficking marijuana, driving without a license and improper lane change. They are currently being held in the Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center.

Rapper Wiz Khalifa - Gets Busted With Marijuana Trafficking
Rapper Wiz Khalifa, named MTV’s “Hottest Breakthrough MC of 2010,” was arrested Monday night following a standing room only concert at East Carolina University.
Khalifa, who is a vocal advocate for marijuana and often touts his own use, was stopped while going to his tour bus to meet his band mates. John Durham, a spokesperson for East Carolina University, stated that ECU police stopped Khalifa as he left the concert venue. According to Durham, “He was on his way with his band to his bus parked outside, and they stopped him because of a strong odor of marijuana emanating from the bus and the backstage area of the auditorium.”
Khalifia cooperated with the police and was subsequently arrested along with nine members of his entourage for three marijuana related charges. Police allegedly seized about 2 ounces of pot during the arrest.
Khalifa, born Cameron Thomaz, was booked into the Pitt County Detention Center early Tuesday morning, where he was charged with one felony count of trafficking in marijuana, one felony count of maintaining a vehicle for sale or storage of marijuana and a misdemeanor charge of possession of drug paraphernalia. He quickly posted $300,000 bail and was released at 8 a.m. He was released along with one other entourage member who remains unnamed.
No indications were mentioned by police that they had found any evidence to support the trafficking allegation.
In North Carolina, possession of more than 1 1/2 ounces of marijuana is considered a felony and punishable by up to 12 months in jail. Most legal analysts don’t think the prosecutor will want to go to trial preferring to offer a plea bargain.
Khalifa tweeted to his fans that at about 11 a.m. ET, he had bailed out all of his entourage and was going to eat lunch.

NYPD Suspects in Greenwich Village Shooting of Alex Bongard, Son of NYU VP
The frightened woman inside a Greenwich Village apartment when masked bandits stormed inside and shot two suspected drug dealers recalled the harrowing moment when she thought she would die.
The 27-year-old crouched in the corner of a bedroom as the men posing as customers burst into the Bleecker St. home late Monday and shot her friends - one of them the son of a top NYU fund-raiser.
"They busted the door down in the bedroom," she told the Daily News on Wednesday night. "It was the most terrifying, horrifying experience I've ever been in."
The two men demanded cash before one of them pulled out a handgun and shot both Alexander Bongard, 24, and his ex-con pal, 31-year-old Lucas Hinde, in the chest.
"I was hiding under a chair and they shot Luke," said the woman, who asked not to be identified because the bandits were still on the loose. "He was begging them not to shoot. He said he had a son."
But the heartless man fired anyway.
Hinde "walked towards the bedroom, grabbed the wall and collapsed," she said. "I saw the blood and I screamed."
She tried to cover the sound with her palm, but it was too late. The room went still.
"There's another one," she heard one hood say.
Paralyzed in fear, she expected to take a bullet until the man's partner said they had to split.
"And then they left," she said. "It was a miracle."
But first the pair grabbed the woman's handbag and stuffed it full of cash, she said.
Wednesday night, Bongard's mom, Debra LaMorte - who runs NYU's $2.6 billion development campaign - remained at her son's Bellevue Hospital bedside.
"I am only focused on two things," LaMorte said, "his making a full recovery, and the NYPD catching the gunmen who shot my son."
Bongard, a former NYU student, and Hinde are expected to survive.
Both men could face criminal charges, police said.

manager at the University of Kentucky's Center on Drug and Alcohol Research has been charged with growing marijuana
LEXINGTON, KY (AP) - Authorities say marijuana plants were found during a fire at the home of a University of Kentucky employee.
The blaze broke out in Lexington on Monday.
The damage was so severe officials have declared the home unsafe.
Investigators believe the fire started in the attic when grow lights overloaded a circuit.
Tracey Ellerbe, 51, was arrested.
She's a manager at the UK's center on drug and alcohol research.
Marijuana distributor gets life in prison
For three years, a Columbus man was a major link to Mexico's drug cartels, distributing tons of marijuana from central Ohio while reaping millions of dollars.
Now, Rafael Hernandez-Carillo will spend the rest of his life in prison.
Hernandez-Carillo, 31, who lived on the Northwest Side, was sentenced yesterday to life in a federal prison by U.S. District Judge James L. Graham.
A jury had convicted him in September 2009 of operating a continuing criminal enterprise.
During the trial, witnesses told of how he was responsible from 2005 through 2008 for bringing in more than 22 tons of marijuana from Sonora, Mexico. The drug was sold in central Ohio and sent to dealers in Dayton, Mansfield and Detroit.
The operation earned more than $10 million a year, according to the federal Drug Enforcement Administration.
As part of his sentencing yesterday, Hernandez-Carillo had to forfeit $263,956 in cash that was seized during the investigation, along with real estate and jewelry.
A task force that included DEA agents and detectives with the Franklin and Madison county sheriff's offices served 32 search warrants during the course of the investigation.
One of the more curious discoveries was a religious statue found in his home; one witness explained that Hernadez-Carillo displayed it because he thought it helped keep law-enforcement officers from his residence.
Hernandez-Carillo was arrested Feb. 27, 2008, at his Curtis Knoll Drive home, where investigators found most of the cash and jewelry valued at about $500,000.
Five others have been convicted for their roles in the drug operation.

Why Did Californians Vote Against Personal Freedom For Adults?
Yeah in 2012 I think it will pass. Most people which is sad, don't really vote during Mid-Term Elections. But the results show we are moving toward the right direction. Still sad as hell today, and I don't even live in CALI. If I did, I probably would feel like I got punched in the stomach, or how Hilary felt when she lost to Obama. Speechless.

Jodie Emery hoping people vote 'yes' on Prop 19
Her husband Marc Emery, who was convicted of selling marijuana seeds in the US, is being transferred from Nevada to a California prison this week.
Jodie says it's ironic he'll be serving his five-year federal prison time in a state where pot may be legalized
Gmail founder Paul Buchheit donated $100,000 to the “Yes On Prop 19″ campaign.
Gmail founder Paul Buchheit is down for getting high! Bucheit recently donated $100,000 to the “Yes On Prop 19″ campaign. I get it the G in gmail is for ganja. cool dude.
For those who don’t know what Proposition 19 (or “Prop 19″) is….it will make marijuana legal for adults over the age of 21 in California. Among Buchheit….Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovitz, Napster founder Sean Parker, Paypal Co-founder Peter Thiel and retired software mogul Steve Silberstein have all made donations in support of the proposition, which will be voted on tomorrow (Nov 2). According to Buchheit, legalizing marijuana will create a more safe and sane drug policy.
“The essential issue is that prohibition not only strips us of our personal liberty, but it also funnels billions of dollars to violent criminal organizations. Prop19 obviously won’t solve all our problems, but I believe that it could be the turning point that leads us towards a more safe and sane drug policy. On this issue, the politicians will follow where the voters lead.
“Prop 19 is popular in many areas, but the support in Silicon Valley is more visible because people here tend to have a greater degree of independence, and are therefore more likely to publicly express their support for what has historically been a controversial issue.”
We always knew Silicon Valley was full of a bunch of nerdy pot heads!! (LOL)

Guess Who Doesn't Want Marijuana Legal
Corrections Corp of America is the company who happens to be -- the biggest owner of private prisons.
As Mike Riggs at The Daily Caller notes, CCA has given money to Democratic candidate Dianne Feinstein, who inexplicably and appallingly opposes Prop 19. Because the legalization of weed result in a lot fewer arrests (not just for pot, but also for real crimes that deserve incarceration), this company has a lot to lose.
Well screw them I say.

Calif. Trick-Or-Treaters Warned Of Pot-Laced Candy
Trick-or-treaters in California have been warned to watch out for pot-laced candy this Halloween, the Los Angles Times reported Friday.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department issued the warning to parents in light of candy and snacks containing marijuana being confiscated from pot dispensaries.
The warning comes days before Californians vote on Proposition 19, a marijuana legalization measure.
California has state laws allowing the medical use of marijuana, but the sheriff's department said the confiscated items were untested and unlicensed.
Officials said in their warning that parents should check Halloween candy and other snacks for indications the items were tampered with.

After further investigation, the drug task force said it went to three locations in Caesar's Creek State Park on Tuesday and found 300 pounds of marijuana.

LIBERTY TOWNSHIP Story update
Remember the story about the brothers who got caught in LIBERTY TOWNSHIP READ HERE well here is an update to that.
Jennifer Rollins, who lives nearby with her husband and children, had no idea there was a marijuana grow operation and pot plants valued at more than $1 million inside.
“We were shocked when we heard what it was all about,” Rollins said Thursday. She lives on Paradise Cove near its intersection with Sunrise View Circle, where Butler County Sheriff’s deputies busted two men Wednesday night after responding to a call about a chemical odor coming from the Sunrise house.
It’s a friendly neighborhood where neighbors pitched in and cooked dinners for her family when she had a baby recently, Rollins said.
She had never seen anyone at the house where the pot-growing operation was found, although her husband had occasionally noticed someone in and out at the house, she said.
The two men were arrested after deputies found about 1,050 marijuana plants and a sophisticated indoor grow operation inside the Liberty Township house. Each of the plants could have been sold on the street for about $1,000, the sheriff’s department said.
Deputies went to the house at about 8:40 p.m. Wednesday.
Firefighters found an open window at the back of the house, but when they tried to look inside, someone shoved a piece of drywall against the window to block the view, said Sgt. Todd Langmeyer, of the sheriff’s department’s criminal investigations unit.
Firefighters were still able to see what they thought was pot. And when a deputy approached the front door, he could smell what he thought was marijuana, Langmeyer said.
Once inside, deputies and officials from the sheriff’s department’s drug task force found the entire house being used as a pot-growing operation.
Officers found the plants in various stages of growth, some already harvested and hanging in separate rooms to dry. Ventilation ran from each room, including the basement and attic, Langmeyer said. Planting beds in almost every room measured 4 feet by 8 feet, with each containing hydroponically grown marijuana.
The two men, A. Bay Luong, 46, of Monroe, and Phuc Ky Luong, 50, whose listed address is Oakland, Calif., were found hiding in the attic. They were charged with cultivation of marijuana, a third-degree felony.
But those charges likely will be upgraded, Langmeyer said, once authorities weigh all the pot.
A relative of the suspects appears to own the $247,000 four-bedroom Colonial-style house that was built in 2007 and is valued at $247,000, according to the Butler County auditor.
“It’s a fulltime challenge to combat the war on drugs within the United States, including Butler County,” said Sheriff Richard K. Jones, whose office has twice recently intercepted shipments of pot hidden inside wooden bar units.
Philly Man facing life in prison because of fire caused by pirated electricity
No one likes paying the utility bill, but one criminal probably wishes he had.
A multistate marijuana-growing business was exposed because one operation went up in flames, with the fire caused by pirated electricity through faulty wiring, according to prosecutors.
Anthony Bui, 57, of Philadelphia, the alleged owner of a string of marijuana-growing facilities stretching from Connecticut to Florida, pleaded guilty Wednesday to numerous drug and money-laundering counts.
According to prosecutors, Bui ran lucrative operations out of houses in New Britain, Conn.; Birdsboro, Pa.; Staley, N.C.; and Jacksonville, Fla. He also imported hundreds of pounds of Canadian marijuana, hidden in tractor-trailers, that he distributed along the Eastern seaboard. He plowed his profits into his commercial fishing company in Egg Harbor, N.J., to disguise the source of the money, prosecutors said.
But his empire went up in smoke when a former chicken house, which Bui was converting into a massive growing operation, caught fire in North Carolina in June 2005. As a small blaze burned just outside the house, volunteer firefighters detected a "strange smell." The assistant fire chief opened the door to the oversize coop and discovered the high-tech operation inside. Investigators later determined that the fire had been sparked because the growers were pirating electricity. The wires had been poorly rigged to bypass the electric meter, prosecutors said.
The local power company estimated that the North Carolina operation had stolen $2,261 in electricity from May 20 to June 30, 2005, according to court documents.
DEA agents soon discovered the three other facilities. According to court documents, Bui set up the operation in Connecticut for his son and the son's friend. In Birdsboro, southeast of Reading, marijuana was cultivated in every room of a house and the site could produce 25 pounds of marijuana every few weeks that sold for $2,500 a pound, said U.S. Attorney Zane D. Memeger.
More than a dozen members of Bui's organization have been prosecuted, Memeger said.
Bui pleaded guilty to conspiracy to manufacture more than 1,000 marijuana plants, conspiracy to distribute more than 1,000 kilograms of marijuana, and conspiracy to launder monetary instruments. He will face a maximum of life in prison with a mandatory minimum of 10 years when he is sentenced on Jan. 11, 2011.

Brothers held on million dollar bond after 1,000 pot plants found in home
This is part 2 from the story earlier about the guys hiding in the attic in Liberty Township, for that story you can go Read HERE...
Gangsta
LIBERTY TOWNSHIP, OH (FOX19) - Undercover drug agents in Butler County have made what they are describing as one of the biggest pot busts in the county's history.
Agents raided a home in the 5700 block of Sunrise View Circle in Liberty Township and found 1,050 marijuana plants and an elaborate growing operation inside. The street value of the drugs is estimated at well over a million dollars.
Two brothers were taken into custody. Phuc Ky Luong, 50, and A Bay Luong, 46, are both facing felony cultivation of marijuana charges. They were found hiding in an attic and taken to the Butler County Jail, where they are both being held on a million dollar bond. They will be in court again on Nov. 3.
Around 8:40 Wednesday night, a neighbor called the fire department after smelling a "strong chemical odor" in the area. Upon arrival, a firefighter looked through a basement window and spotted the pot.
Butler County Sheriff's deputies and undercover agents from the Sheriff's Regional Narcotics (BURN) taskforce responded to the scene to discover the elaborate growing operation. Some of the plants were already harvested and were hanging in separate rooms to dry.
Police say A Bay Luong is reportedly from Vietnam and living in Monroe. Phuc Ky Long is a legal resident from China with a listed address in Oakland, Calif.
This is the third large drug bust Butler County officials have made this month. On Oct. 9, officials seized 268 pounds of marijuana and arrested two people. On Oct. 19, 255 pounds of marijuana was seized and one person was arrested.
"It's a fulltime challenge to combat the war on drugs within the United States, particular in Butler County," said Sheriff Richard Jones. "It makes no difference when the drugs are being transported or manufactured from other countries or grown locally. I will not tolerate this type of drug activity in my county."

Brownsville man accused of growing marijuana in baby's bedroom
An alleged drug dealer is facing multiple criminal charges after authorities found marijuana plants being grown in his 4-month-old daughter’s bedroom.
An alleged drug dealer is facing multiple criminal charges after authorities found marijuana plants being grown in his 4-month-old daughter’s bedroom.
Cameron County Sheriff’s Department deputies arrested 23-year-old Brownsville resident Carlos Alberto Moreno on Monday.
Court records released Thursday show that the Sheriff’s Special Investigations Unit received a tip that drugs were being sold from his Glenbrook Drive home.
Investigation
Deputies stopped and arrested a man who had cocaine after leaving Moreno’s apartment.
Court records show the man had close to an ounce of cocaine hidden in his groin.
Deputies saw Moreno and his wife leave their home and stopped them at the IBC Bank off Boca Chica Boulevard and Padre Island Highway.
Court records show that Moreno’s wife told deputies that were drugs inside their home and agreed to a consent search.
The Search
A search of the couple’s home yielded drugs and a handgun with the serial number scratched off.
Deputies found about 9 ounces of cocaine and almost one ounce in ecstasy pills in their home.
Investigators found marijuana being grown in their 4-month-old daughter’s bedroom.
Court records show there was an intense marijuana odor inside the home but that the couple also had three dogs living inside their home.
Deputies wrote that urine and feces could be found throughout the couple’s home making it very unsanitary for their baby.
Criminal Charges
Investigators reported releasing Moreno’s wife because she could not find anyone to take care of their baby but court records show
She’s expected to face charges at a later time.
Deputies charged Moreno with two counts of possession of a controlled substance, possession of marijuana, child endangerment and tampering with an ID number.
Moreno appeared before Cameron County Magistrate Judge Patricia Edelstein on Tuesday morning where he was issued $60,000 dollars in bonds.
Cameron County Jail records show that Moreno posted bond on Tuesday.

Man charged after marijuana plant spotted growing by window
A 32-year-old Adell man arrested after a marijuana plant was spotted in his window told authorities he didn’t think the plant was illegal since it was just growing and therefore didn’t have marijuana on it, according to charging documents filed today.
Despite the explanation, Nathan G. Huber, 32, of 225 Wisconsin St., was charged with felony counts of marijuana manufacturing and maintaining a drug trafficking place, as well as misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia. He could face more than three years in prison, if convicted on all counts.
According to a criminal complaint:
An anonymous caller spotted the plant Monday and contacted the Sheboygan County Sheriff’s Department. A deputy was dispatched and could see from the driveway that a marijuana plant between two and three feet high was growing in a window on the north side of the house.
Police obtained a search warrant and seized the plant, as well as several small baggies of marijuana, 120 marijuana seeds and drug paraphernalia.

800 pounds of marijuana on a boat off Miami
Four men face federal drug smuggling and drug conspiracy charges after the Coast Guard found about 800 pounds of marijuana on a boat off Miami.
According to the U.S. Attorney's Office in Miami, Customs and Border Protection agents spotted a suspicious vessel from the air on Oct. 21.
The Coast Guard was dispatched to the 45-foot boat's location about 2 miles east of Miami. The officers boarded the vessel and found the drugs in the forward cabin.
U.S. authorities then arranged for a controlled delivery of the drugs to the boat captain's associates. The three men were arrested when they arrived to pick up the marijuana.
A judge Wednesday ordered two of the men to be detained pending trial. The others face detention hearings Friday.

San Jose police release video of armed takeover of pot club
San Jose police have released a video and photos of two suspects who they say robbed a marijuana dispensary in late September.
The video shows one African-American man wearing a purple backwards-facing baseball cap waving around a gun and taking what appears to be marijuana from behind a case at the Monterey Road Dispensary on Sept. 29 at 11:43 a.m. He is likely in his late 20s to early 30s, standing 6 feet 2 inches and weighing about 250 pounds. He has black short hair, a goatee and tattoos on his forearms.
The other man was wearing a camouflage hoodie over his head and is seen in the video wearing gloves and also holding a gun over what appears to be an employee of the dispensary. The race of the suspect isn't known and his face wasn't shown on the video. He looks to be about 5 feet 7 inches tall and thin.
Police say the suspects ordered two employees to the ground, tied their hands together and also robbed them of their personal belonging, along with cash and pot.
The suspects then fled in a green Honda 4-door.
The suspects did not fire their weapons, police said, and the employees were not hurt.
I know they are high as hell right now...

Broward sheriff's detective suspended after his grand theft arrest
FORT LAUDERDALE —
The Broward County Sheriff's Office has suspended an award-winning detective without pay after his arrest Tuesday on a grand theft charge accusing him of secretly pocketing $1,220 seized during a drug bust.
A sheriff's Internal Affairs investigation concluded that Detective Albury Augustus Burrows, 40, who has served the agency for nearly 11 years, was the only person who could have stolen money last year from a Pompano Beach apartment where marijuana plants were being grown.
Burrows was taken into custody after being summoned late Tuesday to the sheriff's Internal Affairs office, officials said. He was freed from jail early Wednesday after posting $1,000 bail.
Burrows' attorney couldn't be immediately reached for comment, despite a message left at his office Wednesday afternoon.

A day on the weed beat in San Diego:
A trucker with 269 pounds of marijuana hidden in the tires of his 1976 Kenworth tractor/trailer was caught coming into the U.S. from Mexico at the Otay Mesa border crossing, U.S. Customs and Border Protection said Tuesday.
A drug-sniffing dog alerted officers who found 44 packages worth $134,000, officials said. The driver, a 39-year-old Mexican national from Tijuana, was arrested.
James Dean Stacy, 46, former owner of a marijuana storefront in Vista in northern San Diego County, pleaded guilty Tuesday in federal court to felony manufacturing of marijuana. Drug Enforcement Administration agents found 95 marijuana plants during a raid on Stacy's "Movement in Action" store.
Under a plea bargain, Stacy agreed to forfeit $1,175 in marijuana proceeds and a semi-automatic handgun seized at the store.
Prosecutors will not recommend prison time, but sentencing is up to U.S. District Court Judge Barry Moskowitz. Stacy could be sentenced to up to 20 years in prison. If the judge accepts the plea bargain, federal prosecutors retain the right to prosecute Stacy for the offense if he violates the law while on probation.
