fucking hell i didn't see anyone get arrested at the show on saturday but i did hear of one person being seen by the cops smoking a bowl in his car... there were mad cops patrolling
Those bails seems awfully low for the amount of drugs some of those guys had. Nearly 20 POUNDS of coke and only $125,000? Intent to distribute LSD, and only $100,500? Not saying it's a good thing, just odd. You'd think with the news of people getting arrested at Phish concerts, people would stop being massive amounts of drugs. Maybe a little, but all the guys who got caught were either doing it where the cops could see, or had too much to properly hide.
Yeah I see no reason for someone to bring 19.87 pounds of coke to a concert with them. Who in the world could slang that kinda weight at a concert.
these laws today... make no sense. 60 doses is nothing, arguably personal stash... couldn't even kill one person street worth 500 dollars 9000 grams of blow 450,000 dollars... could kill a few thousand people (no tolerance) doses come from the family cocaine comes from the cartels.. that fuckin kill people and disrespect the enviroment the ocean needs to swallow us
they're prolly traveling with the band so they brought enough coke to sell to keep them going however, it still seems like a lot of coke
thats like 9keys? now I thought that was bit much myself , but know someone that had 6.. And they dont have any more money than most of us smucks.. they have coke,, lol...
Yea if they were going for the whole tour i guess 9000 g would be appropriate, not sure how many dates there were on the tour though..still, thats a fuck ton of coke, wonder how cut it was.
whole tour they can probably get rid of all that weight.. obviously if they have that good of a connection.. then they have that good of a mouth for business
http://dnj.com/article/20090611/NEWS01/90611015 Bonnaroo bound 'shrooms busted By Mark Bell • June 11, 2009 Murfreesboro Police recovered more than 35 pounds of hallucinogenic mushroom chocolate bars and a felony amount of marijuana Wednesday evening that would have otherwise been heading to the Bonnaroo music festival today. “Mushrooms are similar to LSD in the fact that they cause people to hallucinate, and like LSD a person can die the first time they use these poisonous mushrooms, especially in the condition that they were in here,” said Murfreesboro Police spokesman Kyle Evans. “Being baked into chocolate makes it a lot easier to consume more than is needed for the high in a short amount of time and can lead to overdose.” The arrests of Charles Culver, 22, James Segars, 20, and Edgar Chamu, 23, came just hours before the festival was set to begin. The men, who were baking the mushrooms into chocolate peanut butter cups at their 303 W. Kingwood Drive home, admitted to police they planned to take the items to the weekend festival in Manchester. “The bust was not far from two city schools and several churches, and was located in a typically quiet neighborhood,” Evans said. “The fact that these are former college students living in a typical neighborhood goes to show that drugs can be found anywhere at anytime. If anyone suspects drugs are being sold or produced don’t hesitate to call law enforcement and bring it to our attention. “ The arrests were made on the heels of a lengthy investigation by the Murfreesboro Police Department Vice Unit, according to police. Detectives Jeff Baskette and Merrill Beene lead the investigation. “Drugs of an unknown type, a felony amount of marijuana and several thousands of dollars in cash and several guns were also recovered from the home,” said Evans, who commended the detectives’ work. “The detectives in the vice unit as a whole should be proud of this investigation,” he said. “There’s no telling how many lives they may have saved by keeping these drugs off the streets. The mushrooms recovered from the home were not grown there, according to police. The street value of each individual chocolate cup was estimated by police to be $20. A popular illicit drug Web site indicates that most mushrooms are sold for $20 per 3.5 gram baggy. The active ingredient in hallucinogenic mushrooms produce a variety of symptoms in the drug user, including euphoria, giggling, creative thinking, sensation of insight, intense feelings of wonder, intense emotional sensitivity, time perception alteration, change in consciousness, closed-eye visuals, intense feelings of fear, anxiety and confusion.
