Patrick JironBarbara Jiron

From last month...

lol. This story has everything. Even something to agitate the Asset Forfeiture crowd here at FR...
A search of the couple’s 2016 Toyota Tacoma turned up a little more than $18,000 in cash that “tested positive for a strong odor of marijuana,” Mayo said. The couple signed what’s known as an abandonment form stating that they do not claim the money as their own, he said.

Yeah, I’ve thought about flying out to CO or OR or CA and loading up a car full. You could get rich quick! Then I lay down until the feeling goes away.

arrested last month with 60 pounds of marijuana that they described as Christmas gifts

Maybe they know Willie Nelson.

This sounds like one of the parallel investigation type deals.

As in...They(feds) illegally wiretap this couple and when they know they are in possession of something illegal or money, they contact the local PD who then makes up an excuse(following too closely) to pull them over. Once the dogs alert, the game is up.

The money was just Christmas “presents” from their “kids”.

The couple signed what’s known as an abandonment form stating that they do not claim the money as their own, he said.

Note to self: check car later to see if there is any money that doesn't belong to me.

It was mine! But they must have put it in a bag with their mj to stink it up.

I guess losing $18,000 in cash is a cost of business in the drug industry. Someone’s still not going to be happy. I wonder if the cartel will step forward to claim the cash?

As I have stated several times on this forum: Every adult resident of CA can grow 6 plants to maturity and keep the proceeds.

This couple was legal to grow 12 plants, which if done outdoors in proper conditions could result in at least 10 pounds of clean buds per plant.

60 pounds may have been only 1/2 of THIS YEAR’S crop.

“Grandma and Grandpa are coming to visit for Christmas. “

LOL

The WOD, Marijuana Front...is over. There is just no way to contain that much pot. It will flood every nook and cranny of the nation, in volume.

These folks need to stop drawing attention to themselves.

Or try another line of work.

I am just so thankful that the police got that marijuana-smelling money off the streets. We can all sleep easily now /sarcasm

They had pot while driving in one direction and then had money while driving in the opposite direction. Nope, not small time dealers at all.

They have been spotted and the license plate is in the system. They need to find another way to travel other than through Nebraska.

Methinks they ain’t too bright but their employer(s) ain’t much brighter having these folks mule for them.
