Armie Hammer Arrested for Pot

Truth rating: 10

(GettyImages.com)

Armie Hammer was arrested for marijuana possession in West Texas last November, but no charges have been filed to date.

The actor, who starred in The Social Network and J. Edgar, was detained by authorities in Sierra Blanca after a drug-sniffing dog discovered he had three medicinal pot cookies and one brownie, along with a very small amount of the illegal substance itself.

Hammer spent a day in jail and paid $1,000 bond.

The District Attorney did not prosecute Hammer, because he was carrying well under the 4 ounces of actual marijuana necessary for a felony charge.

His lawyer says no lesser charges have been filed.

    Oh my goodness.. they can’t be serious…

    Just so far it has cost him a day in jail and 1,000 dollars and he still has all the possible charges and trial and associated costs etc etc..

    And it cost us and officers day (sounds like it took more than one officer after all is said and done, and a good chunk of time), all that gas for transport, the dog, all the paperwork, filled an actual slot in our jail system for the day, and it isn’t over yet.

    All for LESS than a roach (.02 ounces.. I have never heard of such a small bust) .. (a roach is the very end of a marijuana cigarette or ‘joint’).

    Or excuse me, they got him for a roach, a three cookies and a brownie..

    This is so incredibly funny.. I am surprised in this time of budgetary melt down that that the chief would even entertain using our precious little resources to chase down, hold and charge a guy over a roach, three cookies and a brownie… bust of the year, the force must be proud.

    As if Salvador Dali wrote the script.

    Heck, there were probably 4 cookies and two brownie’s when they arrested him, if you know what I mean..*snicker*

    The Singapore CNB (Central Narcotic Bureau) announced in September 2011 that the the 5% drop per year, which they often proudly proclaimed as proof of the effectiveness of their tough drug stance, was totally inaccurate. Arrests it seems have actually increased since 2008 contradicting Singapore’s assertion that being tough on drugs (even with mandatory death sentences) has ever been effective.
     
    From January to June 2011 there was a 20% increase in arrests compared to the previous year. This not only indicates that drugs are entering Singapore but also that the amount of people in Singapore using drugs is steadily and surely increasing.
     
    This isn’t just a problem Singapore can claim is due to chronic drug users, as a large percentage of those being arrested are first time users — 41% in 2008, 45% in 2009 and 46% in 2010. This clearly shows that threats of caning, harsh prison sentences and even death does nothing to deter either ‘chronic users’ or ‘first time users’.
     
    The government has promised to “look at the problem afresh and comprehensively”, but they’ve also pledged to maintain Singapore’s ‘zero-tolerance policy’. So no change there then, which is what we’ve come to expect from people who’s livelihood depends on an historically failed and dangerous policy.

    The Singapore government, and those who blindly support them, now have no proof whatsoever that their laws are curtailing drug smuggling or drug usage rates.

    Due to the embarrassment this has caused to the Singapore authorities, the original article may have recently been removed. Kindly google: Central Narcotics Bureau blames under-reporting of statistics on migration to new computer system in 2008
