Four arrested for bringing marijuana into courthouse

[FruityBud]

St. Clair County Courthouse Bailiff Tammy Walters has been busy.

In the past week she has arrested four people accused of attempting to take marijuana into a courtroom.

Walters works security at the metal detector located on the first floor of the St. Clair County Courthouse and searches visitors before they are allowed to enter a courtroom.

Mercedes M. Madison, 19, of 2872 Ralph Street in Granite City, was arrested at 9:40 a.m. Thursday.

Madison walked through the detector after handing her purse to Walters. When Walters searched the purse for contraband she found a small, hollow wooden box commonly known as a "one hitter." The box smelled like marijuana and a green, leafy substance was found inside it, according to the report.

Madison was charged with the unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia.

Also on Thursday, Walters arrested Todd M. Roberts, 29, of 141 E. Lincoln in Hecker in connection with a plastic bag containing a green, leafy substance found in Roberts' pants pocket. The substance is believed to be marijuana. The bag was found when Walters patted down Roberts after he set off the metal detector and failed to remove all items from his pockets.

Roberts was charged with the unlawful possession of marijuana.

Michalene M. Millas, 31, of 2880 Iowa St., Apt. A in Granite City, was arrested at 8:45 a.m. Tuesday after a substance believed to be marijuana was found in her possession. Millas failed to empty everything from her pockets before passing through the metal detector and set off the machine, according to the police report. When Walters searched Millas she located a small plastic bag in Millas' jacket pocket. The plastic bag contained a green, leafy substance believed to be marijuana.

She was charged with the unlawful possession of marijuana.

Finally, David A. Mudd, 26, of 824 S. Herman in Lebanon, was arrested Tuesday after bailiffs found a plastic bag believed to contain marijuana in the pocket of his pants. He was pat searched after he failed to take all of the items out of his pockets and set off the metal detector.

Mudd was charged with the unlawful possession of cannabis.

How dumb can you be? You go into a lions den with a steak tied to your neck and wonder why you got bit. This story is one of the funnier ones... unless it happens to you. So please use common sense when in public places. I myself only smoke at home and have no need to travel with happy leaf on me. I mean come on they wont let you in the courthouse with a beer in your pocket...

LOL, thats funny. I went to court last week and when me and a few people in line were coming up on the metal detector we were all like "****, better check all our pockets". Ya never know. Ive found stash in some weird places before.

Kind of don't make since to me. All "plastic bags" nothing "metal" to set the detector off... Unless they didn't empty "everything" metal which why wouldn't you unless it's a metal bowl but who carries metal bowls on them? If anything a poopy glass piece incase of having to ditch it.

Idiots these days. No offense if anybody who has been to court lately but maybe hence why they're going to court? Either for a court date or to report to an P.o. which I still wouldn't want my bag on me if I was reporting to my P.o.

Some people will never learn? Idk whatelse to say lmao.
Just common since I guess.

I agree. How does a bag of weed set off metal detectors??????

Anyways, since I am a terrible roller, I have been known to carry a metal bowl on me sometimes, but not into buildings.

This story makes me think twice about most people now days. I mean you know your going to the loins den why WHY would you bring anything that the loins might want to tear you up for????


Is it the populas has become that mentally challenged? or is it they just don't think for one second of where or what there doing. This also goes for just being in publlic think about what you are doing and where you are. For me I do my thang at home where I feel safe from the police.

At least I can laugh since it isn't myself in thier shoes.
