'Granny' Busted For Pot Sales

A 72-year-old woman is one of three members of a Green Cove Springs family now in jail, accused of selling marijuana.
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.

Despite the actions of "cowboys" you claim to know, the 2nd amendment is still the law of the land, and attempts to restrict our rights in that area are unconstitutional.
I'm sorry you want the state to be you're mommy, but after Kathy Lee, I guess anything would be an improvement.

...you never answered the question. Would you rather live in Dinkins NYC or Guiliani NYC Maybe he's simply ignoring your farcical straw man.

Thank God these brave government people finally took NarcoGranny off the streets. Now if they could just take out a local homegrower or two, we'd have this W.o.D. thing wrapped up in time for Tet.

Don't squeeze the constitution!

A grandiose statement, but you never answered the question. Would you rather live in Dinkins NYC or Guiliani NYC.
Between those two, Guiliani easily.
I told you that I support laws that prevent people from impinging on the rights of others. Dinkins did not.
I mistakenly assumed you could make the rather tiny intellectual leap from there.

That's possible too. You are quite irritating.
To: Codie
Selling "pot" is still illegal as far as I know.She gambled,she lost.
With a dose of reality, no doubt. It's the idiocy of it being illegal, the absolute waste of 4 undercover buy's, LEO's and investigative time, the nonsense about how this would teach her a lesson, that's the problem with this picture. Yes, she will do the time alotted by the fine court system, occupying space better left for some scumbag with violent tendancies. While your statement is "Right" in the eyes of the law, is it really justice? This soul will probably not survive even a minimum sentence. Blackbird.

Between those two, Guiliani easily Well then you must like the "state of incarceration", since Guiliani used that to clean up the city.

Evidentally. And here I thought they were mentally retarded just when it came to the WOD.

Geezus! You are dense. Ill type it slowly for you:
I support locking up people for crimes that impinge upon the rights of others. Guiliani did that. Dinkins did not.
The drug laws that are responsible for exploding the state of incarceration in this nation often lock people up for crimes that do not directly infringe upon the rights of others. I do no support that.
Why is this simple concept so beyond your feeble minds ability to grasp? Are you stoned?

I do no support that. So a junkie on the street(not bothering anybody, just being a junkie) is just fine. I beleive Dinkins had the same policy.

Geezus! You are dense. Ill type it slowly for you: Do you support a robust, growing economy and fantastic stock returns, or slightly negative growth and an even market?
Growing economy? Well then! You must support Bill Clinton, since his the economy during his administration was characterized by just that!
Dane has a difficult time with causality, dead. It's the mark of the feeble-minded.
