Acting on a tip, undercover Coral Gables police officers allegedly arranged to purchase 21 grams of marijuana from Ratcliff for $220 on Wednesday, said Officer Kelly Denham. After Ratcliff went to retrieve the marijuana, he was placed under arrest without incident and later consented to a search of his apartment.

There, Denham said, officers found another 101 grams of marijuana, plus 19 vials of Hygetropin, a synthetic form of HGH.

Denham said the most serious charge is the one relating to selling marijuana on school grounds, which under Florida law would carry at least a minimum three-year prison sentence.

"When you sell on school grounds, any school grounds, you're going away for three years minimum," Denham said. "People need to think about what they do."

A minimum of 3 years for selling weed? Its not like we have prison overpopulation in this country or anything. We might as well keep them locked up for that long:confused:

Its the "on school grounds" that makes it a 3 year minimum.

A local high school football head coach got busted last weekend in a prostitution sting, and he is coaching tonite, no suspension.

Yeah, our laws about marijuana are fucked up in this country. No way someone should go to prison for selling weed, especially not for 3 years.
