The Clay County Sheriff's Office arrested Elnora "Granny" Layfield, along with Michael and Linda Layfield, last Friday in their Stauffer Street home. Officer seized approximately 30 bags of marijuana valued at $1,200 from the house.

Police said that undercover officers bought marijuana at the home on four separate occasions prior to issuing a search warrant. When officers entered the home, the elder Layfield was found sitting in a living room with several bags of marijuana.

"It's unusual to find someone her age selling pot, but she's not the first and probably won't be the last," said Lt. Larry Thompson, who heads up the Clay County Drug Task Force, which co-ordinates the efforts of the sheriff's office, the Green Cove Springs and Orange Park police departments.

All three suspects were charged with possession, sale and delivery of marijuana over 20 grams, a felony with penalties of up to five years in jail upon conviction.

Elnora Layfield has two prior drug-related charges.

"Maybe a little jail time will send a stronger message to her -- because probation isn't working," Thompson said.

I'm so glad they got this destroyer of society off the streets..............

Does that sound dumb to anyone else besides me? IT'S JUST POT PEOPLE!!!! And we are putting Grandmas in JAIL now?!?!?

Tell me, from her sales, how many people have overdosed? How many people have gone on bad trips and cut the eyes out of their childs heads? It is just POT! The worst thing she has attributed to is obesity.

$1200 is about 4 ounces. Not exactly kingpin material.

Oh, Granny...

[StoneColdGOP]

Given the time, by the time she was 100, she might have been the next Pablo Escobar.

Good thing we nabbed her now...

Lock her away! We as a society must make a statement about the degradation brought on by Evil Plants! Yeah, tough guy, some hard time will send her a message.

[Wolfie]

I also like the way they printed her name:

Elnora "Granny" Layfield

Like she's some kind of underworld mastermind. You know, like Sammy "the Granny" Gravano, or "Granny" Luciano.

"Maybe a little jail time will send a stronger message to her

I'm thinking, not likely. But what the hell, let's waste some more tax dollars anyway.

Of course, the "tough guy" thing was aimed not at you, but at Officer Larry Thompson, who, I am sure, is making other valuable contributions to society as well. Oinkage.

Maybe leaving the little old lady alone would send a message. Sorta like the message we received, and misplaced, in 1787.

The "State of Incarceration" is now the 38th most populous state in the union, with a bullet.

I feel so much safer, now that Elnora "The Granny" Layfield is off the streets.

[mostlyundecided]

Hey, even grannies have to make a living. And it pays better than being a door monitor 'hello' person at the local Walmart or working at McDonalds! (and is easier on the feet!). What else is a 72 yr old grannie to do to make a buck?! LOL

[Texaggie79]

Why would you tell yourself that you didn't direct it at yourself? Wouldn't you, yourself, know, without being told by yourself?

[headsonpikes]

Grandma! What big eyes you have!

Pupil dilation is a dead giveaway.

They should give her the death penalty; it's too bad she's lived so many years already.(sarcasm off)

At the very least it would make Dane foam at the mouth and that alone is reason enough to do it.

Sorry. It was directed at you. I am trying to do too many things at once. Oh well, I accept my clarification, and I thank myself for being so thoughtful.

A few years ago, I had just gotten on a Greyhound bus in Sacramento California....we were about to leave, when all of a sudden the bus driver disappeared off the bus, and in his place sat a detective, accompanied by several other detectives, who informed us, someone on the bus was smuggling drugs, and we were all going to be questionned and our luggage searched if necessary....

Now, on this bus were many young people, as well as many older folks and I must admit, that I had thought one of the young people would turn out to be the smugglers....as it turned out in the end, the alleged smuggler was probably the oldest person on the bus...a stooped over, white haired, old man, who was probably about 75 or 80

He was taken off the bus in handcuffs along with his luggage which supposedly contained a huge amount of drugs...

Frankly, I was ashamed of myself, that I had assumed that the smuggler would have been one of the teens or early twenties types which were on the bus...I never, ever, thought that that kindly looking old granddad was a drug smuggler...

Hee hee! Dane can never have too many people to keep an eye on.

It was directed at you.

Oh, so now I'M a "tough guy"? :-P
