Oh boy ...

Charges are related to an investigation in October. Packers cornerback Sam Shields has been charged with possession of marijuana, according to a criminal complaint filed in Brown County.

WBAY TV reports that Brown County Drug Task Force investigators went to Shields’ home in October after a suspicious package was delivered to the home from Colorado, where recreational marijuana is legal.

Shields allegedly answered the door with a blunt in hand, and the officers noted a strong smell of marijuana in the home. A search revealed both marijuana and marijuana-laced candy in Shields’ home.

He was arrested and charged with one count of possession of THC and one count of possession of drug paraphernalia.
Attorneys entered a not guilty plea on Shields’ behalf in court this morning.

The seventh-year cornerback has been on injured reserve since October due to a concussion.

This news comes on the heels of a recent report that Packers wide receiver Geronimo Allison was also charged with marijuana possession earlier this year; he faces a court date on January 23rd.

He has a concussion. He doesn't know what he was doing.

BIG brother is watching!
I would think the POleece would have bigger fish to fry.
Apparently not in Green Bay.
I think most police departments would turn a blind eye.
Especially considering that he was in his own home not presenting a danger to the public.

Honestly this pre-universal legalization limbo is kinda ridiculous. It's inevitable that all states will soon not be charging offenses like this.

Let's all enjoy the choruses of Shields not being "Packer People."

Thanks to pack93z for the sig!!!

UK - I could take a beer or bottle of wine and drink it and go walk the high street and it would be no big deal. Or heck be in a bar by 12am and there would be many other people there. I could walk right now to the grocery and I may smell pot on the way from people smoking in the park (decent area).

You must be smoking some very strong stuff!

[list=1]Only time I've heard the Police turn a blind eye is (sometimes) when

they think it was an honest and simple mistake

when the paperwork they'll have to do is worse than the offense

no government body is willing to pay for the person to be in jail

[*] when that person is fairly politically connected[/list]
