Man Arrested With $18,000 Of Marijuana

Whenever I hear stories of cops busting guys for having weed, a tear comes to eye. The worst part about it is, you know those cops are pinching it and saving some for themselves for later.

WBBM – A South Side man has been charged with drug possession after Chicago Police stopped him for allegedly driving the wrong way down a one-way street.

Samuel Randall, 27, of the 12000 block of South Lafayette Avenue, was charged with possession of cannabis and driving the wrong direction on a one-way street where signs are posted, according to a Chicago Police release.

Officers patrolling the area near Randall’s home allegedly saw him driving his 2004 Pontiac sedan the wrong direction on a one-way street about 3 p.m. When police stopped the car and arrested Randall when officers noticed two clear plastic bags with cannabis in a cup holder, the release said.

The officers then found additional large shopping bags in the front passenger seat. Each bag contained clear plastic bags filled with cannabis, the release said.

In total, police recovered about six pounds of cannabis with a street value near $18,000, the release said.
