***UPDATE WE WERE ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE OFF THE FORFIETURE
LIST AND IT"S BACK IN OUR POSESSION***
Attention dear friends,
Recently, my good friend was accused of felony controlled substance violation and is looking at a lengthy incarceration if found guilty. He is accused of delivering very small quantities of a controlled substance to someone who asked him for it, who was thought to be a friend of a friend. My friend, is now being accused of being a professional drug dealer, which is not the case. This is the classic victimless crime. No one has accused him of harming them in any way. He has had almost $50-60,000 of his and his friends' personal property confiscated by the police which they are claiming he will not get back. My friend works a full time job, goes to school, supports his retired mother, babysits my kids, and is an all-around peaceful and loving person who is active in the community. The idea that he deserves to be incarcerated for what he was accused of is completely unjust, ludicrous and offensive, not to mention a tremendous waste of tax payer dollars for absolutely no good reason.
This alleged "crime" took place in Washington State where marijuana is legal. This is the same thing they were doing to people 10 years ago for marijuana violations which are now perfectly legal since the voters have clearly shown that they do not support incarcerating, non-violent drug offenders who have not hurt anyone.
If you know my dear friend or just think this is BS, please consider contributing to his legal defense fund. He is anticipating around $15,000-$25,000 in legal fees which he cannot afford. Even if you can chip in $5-$10, anything helps.
Please share this on your page or with anyone who might be interested in supporting this effort as it will take the community to help. We do ask however that we refrain from discussing specific details and names publicly, if you want to know more please feel free to contact one of us directly so we can share.
Thank you for your generosity! Please check back with this page for updates on the case. Pre-Trial date is currently set for July 19, 2016.
Kind regards, Together we can help save our friends future!
