A 17-year-old Macomb Township resident was arrested Feb. 20 after Macomb County sheriff's deputies found him and a second teen in possession of scales and a bag filled with marijuana and MDMA, also known as ecstasy.
Deputies stopped the teens' vehicle for suspicious behavior shortly after 10 p.m. Feb. 20 in Washington Township.
Smelling burnt marijuana in the vehicle, officers conducted a search and found marijuana under the driver's seat and in a drawstring bag in the backseat that also contained scales and MDMA, according to the sheriff's report.
The Macomb Township teen and a second 17-year-old from Shelby Township were arrested for possession with intent to deliver, according to the sheriff's report.
During alcohol prohibition, all profits went to enrich criminals and corrupt politicians. Young men died every day on inner-city streets while battling over turf. A fortune was wasted on enforcement that could have gone on education, etc. On top of the budget-busting prosecution and incarceration costs, billions in taxes were lost. Finally, the economy collapsed. Sound familiar? Prohibitionists and their criminal friends who live in a crack-house called Congress are having a ball—and it's all on our tab!
