Arrested for $25 of coke? Not $25,000…$25

Posted on April 30, 2007

cokeCome on guys – when did we start arresting people for as little as $25 of coke?

Front page coverage on the daily newspaper for a $25 drug bust? Drug dealers are laughing all over town and the country. We’ve got people ready to crucify Hugh King over $25 worth of cocaine!

Why did the officer even bother? Take away the baggie and drive him home. It’s arrests like these that clog the court system.

Hope the charges against Rev. King are dropped and the police can go back to arresting the real criminals.
