    October 30, 2018

    A former employee of U.S. Postal Service Friday was sentenced to six months in jail for stealing marijuana. 

    Makhya Curtis, 24, of Highland Springs, looted at least one parcel of nearly 3 pounds of illegally shipped marijuana on June 23, 2017,

    According to Court documents dozens of damaged parcels were recovered from the Sandston distribution center that had been removed from the mail stream, opened and searched from March to June of 2017. 

    The damaged packages were then placed back into the mail stream, sometimes with the contents removed.

    The postal inspectors reviewed surveillance footage from security cameras after getting reports of the high number of damaged packages and found that Curtis opening some packages.

    Later, a total of 1,338.9 grams, or nearly 3 pounds, of marijuana was recovered during a search of her bag.
    The U.S. Postal Inspection Service reported that in 2016, inspectors seized mail containing more than 40,000 pounds of illegal narcotics and $22.5 million in drug-trafficking proceeds.

  • Marijuana Activist Gabel is in Lincoln mayoral poll fray

    October 29, 2018

    Krystal Gabel, an advocate for marijuana legalization, announced on her Facebook page Thursday that she is running for Lincoln mayor.

    "Lincoln needs fresh, nonpartisan leadership to build a smarter, greener economy that directly benefits the community and Nebraska’s future," Gabel says on her website.

    Gabel has decided to contest the mayor election as an independent candidate. She lists the top item of her platform as legalizing marijuana in Lincoln.

    "By implementing a full cannabis decriminalization policy within Lincoln City limits, residents will be able to legally possess marijuana and grow plants for personal use (no sales)," Gabel wrote on Facebook.

    "The City of Lincoln and LPD would no longer pursue low-level marijuana cases (possession and consumption) and actively work to seal all past marijuana convictions en masse. My intent is to save the city thousands in marijuana enforcement costs and apply that money to city expenses that are currently funded by property taxes," she added. 

    The other agendas of her political electoral manifestos includes starting a citywide free bus service, creating a zero waste program and encouraging e-commerce companies to expand and thrive in Lincoln.

    This apart, one can see her full platform on her website. Gabel unsuccessfully challenged Gov. Pete Ricketts in the Republican primary earlier this year. She also had decided to run for Omaha City Council last year, however, she fell short in her attempt.

    The other top contenders of the Lincoln mayor election are Mayor Chris Beutler, a Democrat, and Lincoln City Councilwoman Cyndi Lamm, a Republican.

    Both Beutler and Lamm have announced they'll run for mayor in 2019, although the former would be ineligible to run again if the term limits proposal passes.

    The accused has been identified as David Dratch, 23, who is from Montgomery.

  • Matoaca High School Student charged after classmates eat ‘Pot Brownies’

    October 25, 2018

    A student of Matoaca High School has been charged with lacing a batch of brownies with marijuana and giving portions to seven of her schoolmates earlier this year.

    Notably, four of the seven students, who ranged in age from 14 -17, had experienced symptoms from the drug.

    According to Chesterfield Police, the14-year-old student was charged with possession of marijuana and adulteration of food after lab results showed the brownies contained tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) - the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana.

    "The lab was unable to tell us how much THC was in the brownies," a police spokesperson said.

    It appeared the charges have been diverted by the court, according to police. That usually means the charge would be dismissed if the student met certain conditions.

    Court uses diversion sometimes for first-time offenders which involve the juvenile being referred to counseling or attending an educational program with his or her parents offered through the court.

    Police were called to Matoaca High back in January 31 after the student arrived at the school's clinic.

    Out of seven, three students were picked up by their parents after experiencing symptoms of the drug and another student, 15, was taken to the hospital for a more severe reaction. That student had earlier gone to the school’s clinic with various symptoms after eating one of the brownies and, as a precaution, school officials called for an ambulance.
