No what led to the investigation had nothing to do with his wife. He actually was involved in a traffic stop. There was moonshine in the back of the truck and smell of pot coming from inside of truck. PD got warrants to search is property due to moonshine and smell of pot and his criminal record.

Yes I consider it the "easy way". Finding legitimate work is harder. Taking multiple jobs to make ends meet is harder. Going to get some education and/or training to improve his prospects is harder. There are countless illegal ways one can make money."
You are more than welcome to try and assume what I mean but it would be foolish to assume that I mean it is OK to commit crimes. It was an attempt at humorous commentary to someone who thinks what this man is doing is "easy". He does have "multiple jobs". Guess we'll have to agree to disagree then.
As for his wife, she is a footnote in an article about pot. Not that her shadyness has anything to with the article or the pot arrest.

As with all things like this, the warrants and arrest records are public documents. IF the 'journalists' at WRAL had wanted us to know how many in a 'copious', they would have printed a NUMBER.
Or, it could be that the RR Police haven't let all the numbers out yet. Which, again, I find odd. Because they should be charging him with possession of "X,XXX" number of plants. They can't just charge you with a 'copious' number of anything.
OK, having said all that, do I think this miscreant and this thieving wife belong behind bars? AB-so-LUTELY! If they're breaking these laws, they're breaking plenty of others. But this story doesn't tell us how big a couple of law breaking j3rks they are. I'm guessing, lacking any journalistic proof, they're 'copiously' j3rkish.
But, we DO need to change the pot laws. Legalization, Taxation, Education, Rehabilitation as needed.
