Louisiana my be relaxing its attitude when it comes to marijuana, but there are some things you just can't do. For example, drive around with more than $22,000 in various drugs and cash. Unfortunately, not everyone seems to be in the know.
According to the report from MyArkLaMiss, a routine traffic stop in Albany, Louisiana resulted in the arrest of Akeem Hopson and Kelvin Costin. The pair are being charged with a laundry list of crimes, and the investigation is still ongoing after authorities with the Albany Police and Livingston Parish Sheriff’s Office seized a whole marijuana dispensary worth of drugs and cash.
Officers on the scene reportedly found 387 individually packaged THC-infused edibles, seven oz. of suspected marijuana, and 42 THC-infused vaping cartridges - and that's not all! Also among the illicit haul were suspected hallucinogenic mushrooms, illegal prescription drugs, some drug paraphernalia, and $1,122 in cash. All-in-all, experts say the street value of the drugs is roughly $22,000.
Some of the evidence will be sent to a lab for testing before the full scope of charges levied against these gentlemen will be announced. That being said, it's a pretty sure bet that these two will see a lengthy jail term.
