Plano woman arrested for felony marijuana possession
Staff report
A Plano woman was arrested Tuesday evening in Amarillo after a trooper from the Texas Highway Patrol found 100 pounds of marijuana in her vehicle.
Marizol Ramirez, 34, was driving a 2007 Mitsubishi pickup when she was pulled over on I-40 near Wildorado, department spokesman Juan Medrano said. During the traffic stop, the trooper conducted a search of the vehicle and discovered the drugs. Sixty-one vacuum-sealed bundles of marijuana were concealed in two television sets and a cardboard box inside, which were located inside a trailer being towed by the pickup.
Ramirez was placed under arrest for possession of marijuana, a second-degree felony, and booked into the Oldham County Jail. The drugs were allegedly being transported from Fresno, Calif. to Dallas.

" Law enforcement needs to re-direct its focus on crime...to those that are REAL crimes.
I was in Federal Prison for 5 years for a marijuana offense. No, it was not for simple possession. I was arrested aboard a Lockheed PV2 in Marianna, Florida...charged and convicted for conspiracy to import and distribute 12,000 pounds of marijuana.
As those 5 years rolled by, what I did see were armed bank robbers, coming and going...while I still sat there for marijuana. Most of the bank robbers only spent 17 to 24 months. But, I and my fellow 'drug offenders,'...we stayed for YEARS.
I wrote about the escapades that led to my incarceration.
I admit, I had a great time.
No one was injured, no one was killed, firearms were not involved...there were no victims.
We were Americans...doing what Americans do best...living free.
Truly, it is time for this lunacy to end...it never should have begun.

I think you may enjoy it...it is about living FREE. "
