Eastern Shore drug bust
Maryland State Police on the Eastern Shore are going to be detailing a large drug bust made during a car stop. They found, of all things, marijuana but also LSD-laced ice cubes. I hope they didn't melt before they got pictures!
Here is some early details from troopers:
Maryland State Police and the Queen Anne’s County Drug Task Force will brief media on a multi-county, large scale drug investigation that started two days ago after a traffic stop. A motorist stopped for speeding on Route 301 led to the seizure of a large amount of cash, weapons, and drugs.
Some of the recovered materials on display will include: over $187,000 in cash, 11.5 pounds of marijuana, several marijuana plants, guns, LSD laced sugar cubes, hashish and a variety of drug manufacturing and distribution equipment. The seized vehicle will also be available for photographs at the barrack.
UPDATE: Here's the press release from the Queen Anne's County State's Attorney's Office. The suspect is from Annapolis, and officers found most of the seized materials in his home.
On December 16, 2009, a traffic stop by Maryland State Trooper Forte, from the Centreville Barrack, led to the seizure of a large scale marihuana operation. Trooper Forte stopped an individual for speeding on Northbound Rt. 301 near Rt. 302 in Queen Anne's County, MD. The driver was identified as Jeffrey L. Windsor of 581 Broadneck Rd in Annapolis, Anne Arundel County, Maryland. After Trooper Forte smelled the odor of marihuana coming from the vehicle, searched the vehicle and found three bags of marijuana in the passenger compartment immediately next to $20,000.00 United State’s Currency that was in a heat/vacuum sealed bag. Windsor’s explanation of the currency was suspicious. Trooper Forte arrested Windsor and transported him to the Centreville Barrack and had Windsor’s vehicle taken to the barrack. At that point, the Queen Anne’s County Drug Task Force was contacted to respond to the barrack for possible follow up investigation.
The Task Force responded to the Centreville Barrack of the Maryland State Police. Numerous receipts for marihuana grow equipment were located in Windsor’s vehicle The Task Force also recovered text messages indicating that Windsor was distributing marihuana as well as photographs of marihuana plants were found on his cellular phone. Based on the information gathered by Sergeant McDonald of the Task Force to this point, a search and seizure warrant was obtained for Windsor’s residence at 581 Broadneck Road in Annapolis, Anne Arundel County, Maryland.
At approximately 9:40 PM, The Queen Anne’s County Drug Task Force executed a knock and announce search warrant at Windsor’s residence. A search of the residence and property revealed the following items:
$187,419.15 United State’s Current
11.5 pounds of processed Marihuana
Indoor Marijuana Grow of 17 plants located on the 2nd floor of residence
Marijuana Grow of 54 plants located in a Greenhouse on the property
Outdoor Marijuana Grow of 5 plants in a rose garden located on the property
Three long guns

We must keep drugs illegal, now and forever! That way my cousin in the drug gang will be able to keep his job...in the drug gang. He said that soon they will come across the border to sell their wares here. What's that? OK, he's already here. Good, he'll need some spending money, too...so, again, PLEASE keep drugs illegal. Thank you, Mr. Drug War Man! If it wasn't for your obstinate insistence that you are wining the drug war, my cousin would not be able to sell his drugs here since his product is completely unregulated and all. You make our lives so happy! Long live the War on Drugs and the fools that support it!

"They found, of all things, marijuana but also suger-laced ice cubes. I hope they didn't melt before they got pictures!"
Reading Comprehension skills? A sugar cube and a ice cube are very different...
They found two hits of L, some marijuana, and some cash..big deal. Thats one stop on Dead tour. I can just imagine the grin on the faces of those high school educated police officers when they busted them, they probably celebrated over bourbon.God Bless America!
Seriously, this drug war is the biggest joke on earth. If Obama does one thing right, it will be ending this thing once and for all.

What a joke. They probably illegally searched the man's car to begin with. I heard Queen Anne's County is known for that. And how does Queen Anne's County execute a search warrant in another county? Hello?!?!?!?
UNCONSTITUTIONAL
Typical...what a joke. And the joke of a State's Attorney's office is probably salivating. I heard those prosecutors there are total wackjobs.

@ Anna
It was the Maryland STATE Police executing the search warrant. I don't think that defense will work well at the suppression hearing.
Please supply any other arguments you have as to why it is unconstitutional.
